The Chrysler Windsor is a full-size car which was built by Chrysler from 1939 through to the 1960's. The final Chrysler Windsor sold in the United States was produced in 1961, but production in Canada continued until 1966. The Canadian 1961 to 1966 Windsor model was for all intents and purposes the equivalent of the Chrysler Newport in the United States. The Windsor was almost identical to the more luxurious Chrysler New Yorker in terms of size, interior and standard features except that it was only available with the Chrysler Straight Six that originally started the company in 1925, which offered customers a luxurious car with a more modest and economic engine. As the years progressed and technology and manufacturing costs improved, the Windsor offered items that were initially optional as standard equipment while maintaining a market position lower in the Chrysler product hierarchy. In 1955, all Chrysler cars were completely restyled with styling by Virgil Exner, sharing some visual similarities with the all-new Imperial which became its own division. The tradition of adding the Newport as a suffix to the model name continued and a four-door hardtop was added. The styling of the Windsor was more rounded and featured wrap around windshields. The word DeLuxe was added to Windsor again. Front head room was 35 inches. Rear axle ratio for the 3-speed manual was 3.73. The Windsor made up 64.72% of Chrysler's sales. This year, the Windsor came in a four door sedan, convertible coupe, Town & Country station wagon, Nassau hardtop coupe, and this Newport Hardtop coupe. This Newport coupe is 1 of 13,126 copies and had a base price of $ 2,818. There were only eight paint choices this year and this very nice survivor is finished in Embasey Gray roof over Imperial Maroon. Overall condition of this Chrysler is very good inside and out. Always good to find another Exner masterpiece. Thanks for viewing.
