fintail ◊ 2007-01-29 17:29	1954 I think...I guess being a limo it would be an Imperial?

New Yorker has a very si^milar grille, but the upper molding is different and instead of the Chrysler script, it has a ''C'' in medaillon with V under (indicating that it's powered with the V8 331.

I will wager that the placement of the Chrysler emblem at the center of the hood with no "V" ornamentation is unique to models sold in Europe. I found this pic of a car in Dublin. http://www.seriouswheels.com/images/a_1953_Chrysler_Four_Door.jpg The grille is not the same of course, but note the location of the Chrysler script. junkman wrote It is not a 1954 Chrysler. It is an early Fifties Crown Imperial Limousine with, as 58Roadmaster has already pointed out, some odd features: The grille is different from any US Version. The headlamp bezels are different too, but I have seen these on another Crown Imperial Limo of this period that ran in Europe. They might be 'Export' Items, mandated by a legislation that requires the turn signals and parking lamps to be separate units in many European countries, whereas in the US a two-filament bulb in one housing will do, since orange (or amber) parking light is allowed there. In Europe, the turn signal must be orange and the parking light white. The 'Chrysler' script is indeed a carryover from 1949-50. Again, it might have been applied to 'Export' versions for Europe, since the cars were marketed prominently as Chryslers there, whereas in the US the move to incrementally separate the 'Chrysler' name from Chrysler Imperials was already under way, resulting in 'Imperial' officially becoming a separate make from model year 1955 onwards. I guess that from 58Roadmaster's and junkman's comments and the 'Windsor' name it is probably made in Canada for Europe? Or in fact was the Windsor name ever applied to models exported to Europe? -- Last edit: 2007-01-30 12:27:21

pilou ◊ 2007-02-01 11:17	This is as stated indeed a Chrysler Windsor DeLuxe 8 passenger sedan of 1954 on the 139.5 inch chassis ( series C-62).One must be somewhat carefull on the details , because these long wheelbase Windsors still used many body parts and pieces from the 1953 cars.Only 500 of this model were built ,making it a rarity.
