In 1957, Chrysler Corporation released the "Forward Look" design language for their model line-up to compete with the fast changing design elements of the late 50's. Big "fins" were in, the public's fascination with space exploration was the big conversation, and those concepts often made it to car design. These design cues can be seen on most American cars built in the mid 50's to the early 60's, and the Windsor was among the last Chrysler cars to get the iconic fins.

​

At the forefront of American car design in 1960, Chrysler developed the all-new Windsor with a unibody chassis structure, the industry standard today for passenger vehicles. Along with the new unibody structure, Chrysler was among the first to use an electromagnetic undercoating for rust prevention, consisting of 7 layers of protection due to complaints of previous models. Our Windsor being a Chicago based vehicle most of its life, this is a big reason why the car is here today. Chrysler was even the first company to use an alternator in a car in 1961, ditching the less efficient generator our Windsor has. 

​

To keep up with the changing vehicle styling, 1961 came around and the Windsor received another re-fresh in styling. Our Windsor only being made for one year makes it quite rare, with around 41,158 produced globally. With ours being a 4-door hardtop model, it makes up for about 14% of all Windsor's produced for one single year, and the amount of 1960 Windsor models still on the road is unknown.
