Yes, Desert Rose over Cloud White was one of the many color combinations available on 1956 Chryslers. This is one sharp looking car IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryB Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Richard Carpenter was a big collector of fine examples of Chrysler vehicles. This one looks incredible. Watching past Mecum auctions I’ve seen his cars bring big $$$$ due to their excellent condition and rarity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one sharp looking car IMO. I have never seen one in that color combo before. And it does look like a nice car. I am a fan of mid 50’s Chrysler and Desoto cars. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
