The fifth generation of Chrysler Windsor was introduced for the 1955 model year. The fifth generation Windsor remained Chrysler's entry level model, and like all Chrysler's at the time, featured a dramatic redesign by Virgil Exner. This latest generation of Windsor was offered as a coupe, sedan, or convertible, and was fitted with Chrysler's 5.0L 'Spitfire' V8 engine. Production of the fifth generation Windsor continued until 1956, when the Sixth Generation Chrysler Windsor was unveiled.
