The 235-cubic-inch (3.9 L) was introduced in 1950 to give a bit more power for the new 2 speed Powerglide auto transmission, In 1953 Hydraulic lifters were added & a pressurized oiling system for cars ordered with the Powerglide auto trans. Vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early.Īlso published at eBay.The 235.5-cubic-inch version was released in 1949 it was used in large trucks. Also interested in trades for Hudson trucks or hotrods. I can assist in delivery or meeting half way for the right deal. I had planned on a decent restoration for use in local parades but I have too many projects and a newborn son and time has become very limited for my toys. as well as both batteries (on a full charge it starts right up but the batteries do not stay charged past a couple of days). The tires will need replacing for their age but hold air. but with no fan shroud it wants to overheat while stationary. I just installed a Griffin aluminum radiator. one of the family members dented the rear passenger side quarter panel. I have a 3 inch binder full of original manuals. The car is a very solid car with the only serious rust in the normal places: on the rocker panels. I have had a local title company attempt to acquire a title but with the Louisiana vehicle title laws being so strict after Hurricane Katrina I have not been successful. I purchased the Checker from the Nephew with a bill of sale only. After the family could not agree upon succession of the vehicle. Her nephew attempted to acquire the title for the vehicle but could not do so. The second owner passed away in the late 1990s and the vehicle was used by family members for several years before being parked. She also commissioned a local mechanic's shop to remove the diesel motor and transmission and installed a Chevrolet 350 V8 with its paired turbo 350 transmission out of a running. with a silver pinstripe separating the two colors. She had the Vinyl top removed and the vehicle professionally painted as seen now: black bottom. Vehicle was the wife's daily driver as the husband also drove a Checker. Rear 1/4 Window eliminated with Oval Opera Windows
