Lovely '56 Chrysler with another one of those odd color combinations that show up in those years: white and turquoise with tan and black interior.

That is a nice car.

Agree it's a great car, and thanks to forum members like 6T-FinSeeker for re-posting here. 

Many of us wouldn't see the ads otherwise; some don't do Facebook; I joined briefly to pursue an ad and immediately found reason to un-join.

I'm wondering if Chrysler had a "Spring Special" Edition in 1956 like they had in 1955. My two door '55 had a very similar paint scheme using the same colors, and it was one of those limited edition cars.

Looking at the 1956 Chrysler brochure, this was optional two tone  available on the Newport series., roof and insert same color, as seen on the 4 door Windsor also in this forum. The other was roof one color, body another color.
