1958 Chrysler Line Up Dealer Promo Film - Windsor New Yorker Saratoga 

The best part of the late fifties was the ' unique' design of each tailfin of each different company.

I HAD 1958 CHRYSLER WINDSOR 2 DR HDTP BLACK W/ 392 HEMI W/2 FOURS. WISHED I STILL HAD IT TODAY.

Our family had a 2 door hard top white and gold, also a 60 Desoto 383 with 2 four cross ram intake manifolds, love those tail fins.

Beautiful car with actual STYLING, something lost on most of today's plastic cars.

Thank you so much for this recent upload! When I was 17 in 1977, I bought my first car, a 1958 Chrysler New Yorker two door Hardtop with a 392 Hemi. I loved that car, and still do. I don't own it anymore, but it's in Sweden now and totall restored. Better than when I owned it. I still think the 58 Chrysler were the prettiest Chrysler cars in all of the 1950's decade

Beauuuutiful Car!💕

AWESOME BODYLINES

Back when stylists knew what style was.

The 1958 Windsor shrunk from the 126 to 122 inch chassis used by Dodge. Notice the front fenders are shorter from the cowl forward compared to the Saratoga and New Yorker.

Oh I so agree with the comments about these old cars. They have style, they are works of art on wheels. Cars are nice these days but, they're just cars and there's too much emphasis on speed. A question I would like to ask auto companies today is "Why don't you bring out a retro of the old style cruisers?" They've done quite a good job with the Mustang, but why not bring out a retro of something NOT a muscle car, a retro of a cruiser like this, complete with chrome and white walls. Doesn't have to be as big, they can be the size of those beautifull compacts they made in the 60s and 70s, like the Dodge Dart. They can even be electric, just lets bring back style. These old car aesthetics are so good they don't look old fashioned, in fact they look more like cars of the future than the past.

Forward Look FTW! Even today.

Really love these clips

We had that '58 Windsor two door, two tone. Unfortunately, we had it in 1964-67, when it looked distinctly uncool compared to what was on the road then, although it was kind of Batmobile like, when that series came out in '66, even though it was based on a Futura. We bought the Windsor from a bad driver. The fins were scraped because you'd hit the signs when parallel parking. By '64 the front seat had to be recovered. So much for the quality referenced in the filmstrip. The electrical system was terrible, including the push button console. I love how they crow about the push button setup. Who exactly wanted it, and who cared? Our '55 Windsor that we'd had years earlier had the gear shifter on the dash. That was cooler, I thought. The door handles deteriorated so that I remember not being able to lock the car - with a hardtop they were so easy to break into anyway. The radio was a tube radio, and by the 60s they were all transistor. And I tend to see very few videos of surviving Windsors from '58 - I'm sure the one we had did not survive long after we got rid of it.

Their was more thought and design put into a tailfin than their is in a whole car today.

Out of the 57 -8 -9 Chryslers, I still think they got it right the first time, and that the 57 is the nicest of all.

More Harp!!! Added bigness!!!

This is a Chrysler line-up dealer promo (short for promotional) film. The idea is to promote the product in such a way as to help the dealer promote the product as well. If he learns to promote the product well enough he will become a top-seller. The product he will be promoting and potentially selling is the Chrysler automobile. The more of these Chrysler automobiles he sells the more money he and the motor company will make. Fortunately the Chrysler nameplate is a fairly old and reputable one. It derives from an engineer named Walter P. Chrysler. Because his car was so good he named it after himself. Additionally, a tall building in New York is named after him though neither the motor company nor his family now owns it.

No mistaking the large 58 Chrysler Rear Fins...

If you "squint" just right, The Windsor 2Dr hardtop looks like a really big Studebaker!

GOLDEN COMMANDO FTW!!

This looks like the Canadian Chrysler. Almost like the model of budget Desoto which was a combination of Dodge ab Nd DeSoto parts...

Happy New Year BTW..

If only they were built to last.

Push button automatic at 3:52,and 392 V-8!

"And this year, we offer a standard warranty on body rust-through for the life of the car...just kidding!"

In the fifties, it was either glissing harps or trombone stabs.

They sure knew how to make a decent car back then, but it was a horrible year for the economy!

Actually the 1958 Chrysler Corporation cars were just slightly redesigned versions of the '57s, which were the real trendsetters when they'd been put on the market. Unfortunately for Detroit, 1958 was a recession year and car sales dropped considerably.

Surprised they didn't mention the 300 model

"Swanky Looking"

Added bigness ?!

These things crack me up.

Easily in the Top 5 of best looking American cars. And engine power to match. (but yeah, those old commercials/promos were very cheesy)

I favor New Yorker 4-door hardtop.

Is it just me or is that headlight assembly om the Windsor Dodge rather than Chrysler? I know there was a little crossover with various models so I'd be really interested to know!

Those gaps though!

Pretty soon, it will be 2058

No mention of the 300....

Huge land yachts with horribly fitting body panels and doors. Manufacturing has come a long way since the 50s.

Hmmm....I wonder why *The IMPERIAL* wasn't included in this video ? Could it be because *it's NOT A CHRYSLER ??* Yeah....THAT just could be it !!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_(automobile)#First_generation_(1955%E2%80%931956):_A_separate_make

Remember? , the white man built all these wonderful beautiful machines.

Imperial is better

Love the channel but that is one ugly car. Lmao

geeze...chrysler must have liked to rip ppl off back then..these cars are nothing more then glorified plymouths ...and the first one looks like the cheaper ranger and pacer edsels from the side

Sorry, these cars are just hideous compared to what they did in the 1960s and early 70s. Those were some timeless designs.

Chryslers were junk

You got to have bigness brah 😐
