Summary:
Used 1955 Chrysler Windsor Red
Location:
Miami, FL
Description:
1955 Chrysler Windsor Nassau Deluxe ExteriorStyled by Virgil Exner and his team, Chrysler had now positioneditself at the forefront of the industry. The new look began with anall new big split egg crate grille set below lowered front fendersand hood lines and boasting heavy chrome. Wraparound Super Scenicwindshields were also a first for Chrysler and body sides weresmooth with few feature lines except for the simple trim spear andthe tall chrome encased Twin Tower taillights. The rear window isalso a wraparound style and has a nice downward curve to the trunk.Plenty of chrome on this car, and it all presents in faircondition, with some spotty pitting and dulling but this is mostlyreserved for the chrome covered pot metal pieces. Exterior paint inred is good and covering the roof above the expansive greenhouse isa white roof. There is some hazing to the paint finish along with afew inclusions but mostly remaining shiny. All badging is presentand accounted for and we note the optional reverse lights in theirchrome bezels hanging just above the shiny chrome rear bumper. Widewhitewalls are wrapping the 15" steel wheels with full sizestandard issue Chrysler wheel covers.InteriorLooking inside we are met with tri-tone door panels. These arecovered with leather patterned light gray vinyl and are borderedabove and below by white vinyl and black carpet respectively. Afine mix for the seats with all broadcloth weave cushions in lightgray and ivory white bolsters in vinyl. Nice light gray pipingsurrounds the seats, which are a split back bench in front and afull bench in the rear. Carpeting is a nicely preserved black andfloods all the floors. Upfront is a wonderfully curved downwarddash, featuring a black padded topper and a white full metal jacketface with more plentiful chrome trim accents throughout. Theplacement of the transmission selector, dubbed the FingertipPowerFlite range selector, is now located on the instrument panelrather than in the standard steering column position. A lineup ofstove style round knobs with chromed turns is above the factory AMradio. Some gauges show corrosion at the bezel surround where itmeets the glass as does some of the chrome trimmings. The originalsteering wheel with its black rim and full horn ring and shinesbrightly in front of the dash and the headliner of gray broadclothis clean and tight.DrivetrainA 301ci Poly engine in V8 form is within the well restored enginebay, The engine is believed to be original to this car, andpresents well with its silver block, intake, valve covers and blackair cleaner assembly. A single 2-barrel carburetor is on top and a2-speed automatic Powerflite transmission is on back sending powerback to a 3.54 geared rear axle.UndercarriagePlenty of surface rust abounds under here, however it appears to bestructurally sound. Body hangers have surface rust, as are theinside of the exterior rockers, but it is not invasive unlike theflooring. The flooring has suffered from many areas of invasiverust and has been amateurly patched from above with galvanizedsheeting. Not aesthetically pleasing, but functional for the timebeing. Power drum brakes are on all 4 corners and providing thesignature Chrysler ride is an independent coil spring frontsuspension and a traditional leaf spring arrangement in therear.
