THE MIGHTY CHRYSLER
Here’s the glamorous,
low-priced 1957
Chrysler Windsor V-8
Announcing the most glamorous car in a generation!
You never looked or
felt as good in
anything before!
Other cars have changed models . . . this one changes
motoring. Look at its rich, racy lines ... at the long,
low silhouette ... at the dramatic upsweep of the rear
fenders that plume back from the waist like the wake
of a hydroplane. It’s a streak of a car with the elegance
of the boulevard and the spirit of the speedway.
Get, into this car, drive it into traffic or out on the open
highway and you enter a new domain of travel. In the
1957 Chrysler, With its new Torsion-Aire Ride, motion
has a new "feel”. And wait till you toe the throttle. A
new Pushbutton TorqueFlite Transmission teams with
a mighty airplane-type V-8 engine, developing up to
325 horsepower, to give you a new high-velocity
getaway, matchless passing power when you need it.
Come, in this week and visit our showrooms. See and
drive the most completely new car of the year!
Torsion-Aire Ride
pours the road under you!
Try Chrysler’s new Torsion-Aire Ride and
you’ll think some of the laws of gravity,
motion and inertia have been suspended in
your favor. No more rock and roll. No more
pitch when you stop. Chrysler’s new torque
rod suspension and lower center of gravity
give you a brand new ground-skimming "feel”
of the road. The wheels ride the contours . . .
but you don’t. The road just pours under you.
