Chrysler Windsor adalah mobil ukuran penuh yang dibuat oleh Chrysler dari tahun 1939 hingga 1960-an. Chrysler Windsor terakhir yang dijual di Amerika Serikat diproduksi pada tahun 1961, tetapi produksi di Kanada berlanjut hingga 1966. Model Windsor Kanada 1961-1966 adalah untuk semua maksud dan tujuan yang setara dengan Chrysler Newport di Amerika Serikat.

Windsor hampir identik dengan Chrysler New Yorker yang lebih mewah dalam hal ukuran, interior dan fitur standar kecuali bahwa itu hanya tersedia dengan Chrysler Straight Six yang awalnya memulai perusahaan pada tahun 1925, yang menawarkan pelanggan mobil mewah dengan mesin yang lebih sederhana dan ekonomis. Seiring berjalannya waktu dan teknologi serta biaya produksi meningkat, Windsor menawarkan item yang awalnya opsional sebagai perlengkapan standar sambil mempertahankan posisi pasar yang lebih rendah dalam hierarki produk Chrysler.

Windsor secara mekanis mirip dengan Royal dari tahun 1939 hingga 1950 dan menawarkan lebih banyak peralatan standar dan interior kelas atas ke Royal yang dilengkapi dengan baik sementara kedua kendaraan datang dengan Chrysler Straight Six. Karena papan nama Royal dihentikan untuk model tahun 1951, Windsor menjadi coupe enam silinder Chrysler sampai tahun 1955 ketika Poly V8 diperkenalkan. Untuk model tahun 1961 Chrysler Newport mengambil posisi pasar yang semula dipegang oleh Royal, menjaga Windsor diposisikan satu tingkat di atas Newport. Chrysler mengganti nama Windsor pada tahun 1962 dengan pengenalan seri non-huruf Chrysler 300.[1]

In 1953, the Chrysler Windsor (along with the rest of the Chrysler line) got new sheet metal and finally a one-piece curved windshield.[5] Power steering was a $177 option.[5]

For 1954, the base Windsor was dropped and all that was left was the Windsor DeLuxe.[5] The grille and the instrument panel was new.[9] A Popular Mechanics Survey of Chrysler owners reported that the best liked feature for Windsor owners was the comfortable ride (53%), followed by handling ease.[10]

In 1955, all Chrysler cars were completely restyled with styling by Virgil Exner, sharing some visual similarities with the all-new Imperial which became its own division.[5] The tradition of adding the Newport as a suffix to the model name continued and a four-door hardtop was added.

The styling of the Windsor was more rounded and featured wrap around windshields. The word DeLuxe was added to Windsor again. Front head room was 35 inci (890 mm). Rear axle ratio for the 3-speed manual was 3.73.[13] The Windsor made up 64.72% of Chrysler's sales.

For 1956, the "Forward Look" restyling came out, introducing the first tail fins on a Chrysler car.[5] Interior trims remained mostly the same, though a new Highway Hi-Fi phonograph player was a new option on the Windsor.[5]

The 1956 edition for the Canadian market featured the Plymouth 303 Poly V-8 Engine, the same one used in the Plymouth Fury and the Canadian Dodge Custom Royal.[14]

For 1957, Chrysler cars, including the Windsor, were restyled again. This time with taller tailfins with vertical taillights, thinner C-pillars, and a wraparound front bumper. Mid-year, dual headlights became standard.[5] Front head room grew to 35.7 inches.[5] Safety equipment was optional on the Windsor. Unfortunately for Chrysler, 1957 cars were plagued with quality problems, such as breaking torsion bar suspensions and rust.[5] 1957 Chrysler cars were redesigned with Virgil Exner's "Forward Look" at the cost of $300 million ($2.676.184.834 in 2022 dollars [17]) when Chrysler took on a loan in 1954 from Prudential Insurance to pay for expansion and updated car designs.[18][19][20]

In 1958, the Windsor (LC1-L) was moved to the Dodge/DeSoto Firesweep 122-inci (3.100 mm) chassis.[5] Canadian Windsors still used the longer, 126-inci (3.200 mm) chassis and was essentially a rebadged Saratoga (LC2-M), a model which was not sold in Canada this year.[21] New this year for all Chrysler cars was the new "Auto-Pilot" cruise control system.[5] It had two features. One was the speed-warning feature that the driver would turn the knob to set a certain speed.[22] Then, when the driver would start to pass the speed, pressure would be felt in the pedal, letting the driver know that they were going too fast. The other feature was the actual cruise control. It was activated by pressing on the speed-set knob.[22] The Windsor made up 42.36% of Chrysler's sales in 1958.[5]

In 1959, Chrysler started to advertise the car's new Wedge-head V8 "B" engines as "Golden Lions" and the cars as "Lion Hearted".[25] The RB 383 produces 305 hp (227 kW) with a twin-barrel carburetor. Lions were used in the advertising, and the cars had lion emblems on the front doors and on the cylinder heads. Air conditioning was a US$510 option ($4.383 in 2022 dollars [17]).[5]

Canadian-built cars did not get the new RB 383 engine, but were equipped with the "Low Block" 361 cu in (5,9 L) engine as used in US Dodges and DeSotos. Thus, Canadian Windsors also did not get the "Golden Lion" decorations; instead, they were fitted with three golden crests on the front doors.[26] The B 361 engine produces 295 hp (220 kW) with a twin carburetor. As convertibles and station wagons were imported from the US, they did not receive differing specifications.[26] Brochures for the 1959 US Chryslers actually show this triple crest being mounted on the front door, with the Golden Lion appearing on the rear fenders instead, but this is not how the finished product appeared.

In 1960, all Chrysler cars got a unibody frame. A new parking brake was also used,[24] and the brakes on the Windsor were 11" drums. The Windsor shared a futuristic semi-circular domed instrument cluster Chrysler called the AstraDome, which housed the speedometer and all gauges in one location with the Chrysler 300, Newport, Saratoga and New Yorker. The clusters appearance was compared to a gum ball machine, and the gauges at night could be viewed with electroluminescent lighting Chrysler called "Panelescent Light", a feature shared with all Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, DeSoto and Imperial vehicles starting in 1960.[24]

In 1961, all Chrysler cars were redesigned. On the Windsor, standard equipment included a cigarette lighter, map lights, and new for 1961, a safety padded dash.[27] 1961 was the last year of the Windsor in the United States. [28]
