In the 1960ʼs, Chryslers and Imperials were sold at the same dealership. Under the Chrysler name, dealers sold the Windsor, Saratoga, Town & Country, the 300 Series (B-L) and New Yorker. The Windsor was the entry level Chrysler model. It retailed for $3,194.00. The standard engine was 383 cubic inches and produced 305 horsepower via its two barrel carburetor. Unique to the Chrysler Corporation, this car has the funky push-button transmission (also called the “typewriter” transmission). The instrument cluster is “space age,” with the instruments and dials contained in a quarter sphere type of arrangement."

"The Windsor was basically just an upgraded version of the Royal. It included all Royal updates and features, plus the addition of two-tone wool broadcloth upholstery. There was an electric clock, rear seat folding armrest on sedans, and carpeted front compartment. The convertibles included exterior 'goose-neck' mirrors. In comparison to their 1946 counterparts, little had changed. They were very similar to the New Yorker line, but without the larger engine." -By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2007 (Concept Carz Article)
