Pics; Received my 1956 Chrysler South Hampton two door hardtop from my favorite vendor the other day. It's Glacier Blue over Mediterranean Blue. Windshield and surrounding trim a little big but not to bad. I like the color.
I think it looks a little less frumpy and a little more sporty than other colors on this car but everyone has a different take. All in all not bad for the price point.

Looks great! I notice the blue one has wire wheels while the other 2 have standard wheel covers.

Is the chrome wheel trim on the front passenger side off or is it just the picture? I like the car.

Curtis What year is this model?

Grill work appears to be 1955? Okay I see why it is an Imperial SH

Shel, apparently there are many who don't realize in '56 Imperial & Chrysler were separate car lines
