This site has now been visited 
times since the counter was installed.
[See also the main Chrysler Page 1, et seq.
(page 2 has the Walter P. Chrysler story).]
These pages are basically unindexed but a HELP section is now on the last page and the Chrysler Links section is being recreated.

CHRYSLER FRONTS (GRILLES).
Somehow or other I ended up with copies of Chrysler's Code Sheets for the 1949
"Silver Anniversary" cars, entitled "CODES AVAILABLE ON CHRYSLER SILVER
ANNIVERSARY MODELS" and covering the 1949 Chrysler Royal, Windsor, Saratoga,
New Yorker, Town & Country, and Crown Imperial models, "Supplement to
Confidential Bulletin 1513". The special Windsor and New Yorker models with
"HIGHLANDER" trim are also covered.
The body types covered include Club Coupe, Convertible Coupe, 6 Passenger Sedan,
8 Passenger Sedan, Limousine, Station Wagon, and Newport (this latter was the
hardtop version of the convertible - the first of such, as I recall).
I won't list here all the colors and shades but you will be pleased (nay, thrilled,
probably) to note that someone penciled in the equivalent Ditzler paint specification
numbers! The convertible top colors are also listed (taupe was standard
unless otherwise ordered).
The second sheet lists the upholstery codes, and the third sheet lists the
"SPECIAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLED AT FACTORY", the standard "ITEMS OF
EQUIPMENT", and the "TELEGRAPHIC CODE NAME FOR BODY TYPES"
(which I find weird).
For the nonce, I have not (yet) provided thumbnailed images since nearly nothing will
show on such; rather I'm just posting the full, HUGE hi-res. images directly -
they average about 1.2 MEGAbytes each:

1949 Chrysler Code Sheet 2
1949 Chrysler Code Sheet 3
I hope this enormous investment in bandwidth (memory) and time is worthwhile to
owners of surviving 1949 Chryslers.
I had one such car, a 1949 Chrysler Highlander 8 C-46 (on the New Yorker chassis)
Club Coupé, which I sold on eBay on 28 Apr 2007; it can be seen at
