But you would want one like the above, because finding replacement trim is a PITA.

Somehow, I think these are badass enough that one or two missing pieces wouldn't kill ya.

Nice but it lacks straight eight that 40's car absolutely needs to have.

Yeah, that strip by the door handles, I could live without, the strips that extend from the grille those are needed. They really complete this exercise in Streamline Moderne design.

In your case, very much a case of "ask the man who owns one", am I right?

Yes, and big fan of other straight eights too.

The Chrysler's hood is so long that it really needs to have a long engine. This '46 even has two carburetors to make it look even longer:

And, there is enough room in the engine bay for an LS swap.

Hell, you could probably put two in there.

Oh, I know, believe me, I know. An immediate postwar Chrysler with the flathead six and Fluid Drive is actually the vintage car I lust over more often than probably anything else.
