1941 Chrysler Series 28 Six Windsor Convertible

The 1941 Chrysler entry-level, six-cylinder Series 28 was divided up into three trim levels consisting of the Royal, the Windsor, and the Windsor Highlander. Body styles included a coupe, club coupe, convertible, sedan and town sedan, and a Luxury Brougham. A long-wheelbase version was also available, consisting of an eight-passenger sedan and a limousine. Power was from an L-head, six-cylinder engine displacing 241.5 cubic inches and offering around 110 horsepower. Fluid Drive transmission was standard and a new 'Vacamatic' semi-automatic was available for an additional cost.

Although World War I was coming into view for the US, Buick continued to be an innovator, introducing an Automatic Safety control gearshift, a steering wheel without spokes in the upper half, and an inside hood lock.

The Highlander Series was the most prestigious and expensive of the entry-level range. They came with a solid leather interior with inserts of tartan plaid.

This Windsor Highlander Convertible has been treated to a high-quality professional restoration in the early 1990s. It reached Senior Grand National First Prize status in 1998. It was formerly owned by Ontario enthusiast Jim Miller and has been maintained within Howard and Norma Weaver's collection.

This Windsor Highlander Convertible is finished in period-correct maroon with a proper Highlander interior. Accessories on the car include a dashboard-mounted clock, factory AM radio, a heater, fender skirts, driving lights, bumper guards, a grille guard, and whitewall tires.
