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.

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".

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

Moe Parr, Your Chrysler always looks stunning to me. I especially like the tail light treatment and the colors.

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". 

Nugget Gold/Platinum is the color combo of my car, with the original green cloth/white vinyl interior.

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!   🤣 🤪
