I'm guessing this ad must have been a teaser immediately prior to the model year release date as we never really get to see the various cars plainly.

That's certainly a beauty, @moe parr. A fine example of the Forward Look in the medium-priced field.Â

The 1955 Chrysler Windsor brochure describes it as "the lowest-priced really fine car of them all"...what we'd call today "entry-level luxury".Â

Doesn't it make everything else on the block look dreary? A real gem.

Thanks Al' , for this post. The Flintstones and Harry B. jet-off into the future! It really makes one think of happier times.

Thanks, Bob. I'm a taillight guy and those "twin-tower" taillights on the '55 Chrysler are my all-time favorites. The New Yorker's are even nicer, with the chrome "ribs".Â
Nugget Gold/Platinum is the color combo of my car, with the original green cloth/white vinyl interior.Â

Thanks Al. That song is stuck in my head now!
Well, Pete, the same thing happened to me. There is a solution to getting it out of your head. I've been singing it out loud at least once per hour and so, by jiminy, should you!  🤣 🤪 Â
