58L-Y8 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchan Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 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. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deac Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Damn, that's a handsome car. The Chevy's and Ford's of the mid 50's suffocate how neat these cars look! We just don't see them nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John S. Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Such a nice Chrysler. Malo48, if you do stop tomorrow, please fill us in on the Newport. Thanks. John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Malo48, it'd be nice to see under the hood and the upholstery. If both are comparable with the photos shown, it's a fair asking price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I agree. Surprised the car's still for sale. As similar as it is, this is a cooler looking car than my '55, IMO. I think the '55 to '56 Chrysler styling change was one of the best facelifts ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
