1959 Chrysler Cars Described 1959 CHRYSLER CARS DESCRIBED 1959 CHRYSLER - GENERAL: The 1959 Chryslers used the same basic body structure of the 57-58 finned versions, but the sheet metal was craftily changed to give the car a new look. The grille carried forward its horizontal theme, but the lower section now wrapped around the fender and ran back to near the front wheelhouse opening. Both bumpers were noticeably different. The rear license plate was no longer embedded in the deck lid - it was positioned at the center inset of the rear bumper. Tail lamps were placed in a "notched" housing totally unlike the previous designs. A unique "outlined roof"' treatment which, as an option, could be ordered in colors that matched the body side sweep inserts The Town and Country name continued to be used on the station wagons. All hardtops and convertibles used the dome-like windshield pioneered on 1957 convertibles. Interior upholstery came in 14 color and fabric choices using "Times Square" metallic threaded cloth with pleated vinyl inserts. Swivel bucket seats were available on all body styles except the wagon, and were standard on the Chrysler 300E. Chrysler's new promotional theme, "Chrysler 1959 - presenting the Lion-hearted Car that's every inch a New Adventure." was indicated by a Lion medallion placed on Saratogas and New Yorkers. INNOVATIONS: A new, wedge combustion chamber engine was used on all 1959 Chryslers. Engine weight, simplicity of design and lower manufacturing costs were the principal reasons for the change in power plant. This engine was a derivative of the B-block introduced, in 1958, on the DeSoto. Dodge and Plymouth. It and had a raised deck height, allowing a longer stroke, and resulted in the "RB" designation (raised B block). It would be available in two displacements: 383 CID and 413 CID, resulting from a 4.03 inch and 4.18 inch bore respectively. Both had a 3.75" stroke. 1959 WINDSOR SERIES MC1-L (RB 383 Wedge 8-Cylinder): The Windsor continued to use the 122.0" Dodge chassis, however, the 4.0" difference in size between the Windsor and the other 1959 Chryslers was ahead of the windshield, not in interior or rear overhang. The Windsor bodies generally came in a single color unless the "outlined roof"' option was ordered. The Convertible returned to the line, flushing out the series that featured a 2 and 4-door hardtop, a 4-door sedan, two wagons; 6 and 9-passenger, and the convertible. 1959 SARATOGA SERIES MC2-M (RB 383 Wedge 8-Cylinder): The 1959 Saratoga used the long wheelbase chassis of 126.0". From the cowl area back. the sheet metal was identical to that of the Windsor, but the front end was four inches longer at the cowl. A new color sweep began at the lower rear quarter panel and arched upward gracefully, to mid-body, then ran forward to the tip of the front fender. Standard two-tone color combinations had the body and the new roof panel insert in the same color and contrasting finish on the color sweep, roof outline and C-pillar. A "Saratoga" nameplate was located just forward of the tail lamp housing. A Golden Lion medallion was fixed next to the nameplate. This was part of Chrysler's new promotional theme. An array of options included the unique swivel seat. Interiors were all-vinyl. Optional were seat inserts made of Jacquard material called 'Mayfair.' 1959 NEW YORKER SERIES MC3-H (RB 413 Wedge 8-Cylinder): For 1959, the Hemi was gone from the New Yorker - replaced by the new B-series wedge head at 413 CID, a 21 CID increase. Horsepower was up slightly, from 345 to 350 with the new engine. The New Yorker used a spear-like color sweep with horizontal top trim. The lower trim molding dipped and broadened, at the rear, running to bumper level height. An anodized insert ran from front to rear, within the color spear, and seven slash type strips were added at the rear. They continued the same pattern used on previous New Yorkers. The Golden Lion insignia was placed below the script "New Yorker" at the rear portion of the front fender. Upholstery options consisted of 22 combinations of vinyl and Jacquard fabric. The instrument panel and dashboard were relatively unchanged from the two previous years. 1959 CHRYSLER 300E SERIES MC3-H (RB 413 Wedge 8-Cylinder): The Chrysler 300E was built as if it were part of the New Yorker series, but it still retained its "big brute" attributes that were the tradition of this luxurious, high-performance car. The use of the new 413 CID wedge-shaped combustion chamber engine was the major change. The new engine was said to have performance equal to or slightly better than the Hemi engine, which left no doubt as to the car's heritage. Minor changes included a revised grille, on the familiar theme, but eliminating the vertical bar look. A "300E" insignia was placed on the driver's side of the hood, in line with the headlamps. Swivel bucket seats were available and the red-white-blue 300 medallion was positioned in its usual places with the letter 'E' was added to signify the new model. MODEL/ENGINE I.D.

The Laboratory's transition from an organi­ zation focused on one large, innovative mission Galileo reveals best-yet Europa close-ups a decade to one that delivers several smaller, innovative missions every year "has not been easy, and it won't be in the future," Stone acknowledged. "But if it were easy, we would­ n't be asked to do it. We are asked to do these things because they are hard. That's the reason the nation, and NASA, need a place like JPL. ''That's what attracts and keeps most of us here," he added. "Most of us can work elsewhere, and perhaps earn P49631 more doing so. What keeps us New images taken by JPL's The Conamara Chaos region on Europa, here is the chal­ with cliffs along the edges of high-standing Galileo spacecraft during its clos­ lenge and the ice plates, is shown in the above photo.

  • 1956 Chrysler Cars Described
    1956 CHRYSLER CARS DESCRIBED 1956 CHRYSLER - GENERAL: The 100 Million Dollar Look was carried forward once again with a tasteful facelift centered around grille changes and integrating the tail lamps into the body. The two-piece grille of 1955 was redesigned into a one- piece unit with a look much like the 1955 Flite Sweep I show car. Three horizontal grille bars floated within a chrome surround. The new tail lamps formed a natural extension of the new uplifted outer rear bumper ends. The "DeLuxe" nomenclature was dropped, and now there was only the "Windsor" and "New Yorker" nameplates in both lines. Chryslers were all powered by V-8s and the real differences in the lines were interior fitment/appointments and level of V-8 power (very important in the 50s horsepower races. Big news this year was the size increase for the Hemi engine, now at 354 CID. This increased horsepower, in standard form, by more than 10 percent to 280. The Windsor continued on with the Poly V8 - but its displacement moved up to the old Hemi's 331 CID. The Poly's horsepower rose to 225 - and with the 4-barrel Power Package - up to 250 HP. This would be the last year for front coil springs combined with rear leaf springs. INNOVATIONS: The Powerflite automatic (and later in the year Torqueflite) had pushbutton control for the transmission - positioned on the left side of the dash near the door. A 12-volt electrical system was new for all Chrysler models. 1956 WINDSOR SERIES C71 (Poly 8-Cylinder): The Windsor line added a true four-door hardtop known as the "Newport 4-door".
