From 1946 the New Yorker was its own model, but gained a new body in 1949 that was shared with Dodge and DeSoto. The 1949 C46 New Yorker sits on a 131.5-inches wheelbase and is powered by a 5,302cc inline eight. Essentially the 1949 New Yorker was a better trimmed Saratoga. A 5.3-litre 'Spitfire' inline eight engine. For 1950 Chrysler added A Special Club Coupe Hardtop, also called Newport. The Chrysler Hemi 5,425cc V8 was introduced to the big Chryslers in 1951, but not much happened for 1952 as Chrysler feared that the Korean War might end civilian car manufacture.
