**rb336** · January-03-13, 02:27 PM

**Honky Tonk** · January-03-13, 02:28 PM

**gnome** · January-03-13, 02:28 PM

1956

**CountrySquire** · January-03-13, 02:29 PM

Nope, I'll post the answer tomorrow if no one figures it out.

The skirted wheels and the funky round reverse lights coupled with that crease along the fin line.

'56 Chrysler Newport?

**Bluenote132003** · January-03-13, 02:38 PM

'60 or '61 Ford...Fairlane or Zephyr? Probably Canadian or Australian?

**Wheels** · January-03-13, 02:49 PM

It says Royal on the rear quarter. Maybe a 1956 Chrysler Royal Australian?

**rb336** · January-03-13, 03:05 PM

ok, definitely mid/late 50s. I can't think of anything but those soon-to-be AMC brands that had the c-pillar configuration this has with the sharper edges. plymouth/dodge/chrysler had that in the early/mid 50s, but were more rounded. but the name clearly looks like R_____l. grrrrrrrr. Not American

yes, 56 Aussie Chrysler Royal it is

**rb336** · January-03-13, 03:09 PM

no left-side mirror SHOULD have been the giveaway that it was aussie

**canuck** · January-03-13, 03:18 PM

rb336, you are spot on.

**Cincinnati_Kid** · January-03-13, 05:57 PM

55 Plymouth Belvedere, which was the top of the line Plymouth that year, 1956 the Fury was introduced as the top model.

Yes! This one is a '57. Good job!

**Jimaz** · January-03-13, 10:28 PM

We had a 1953 Chrysler New Yorker that looked similar but without the fins. It had air conditioning! Wow! LOL!

That was fun. Encore!

Gotta pick something that Google Images can't find too easily. Google can accept an image as a search term now.

Interesting and informative find though.

**black gold man** · January-03-13, 11:05 PM

But you had no idea by just looking right.

And that one should be post war 1949 Datsun Thrith.

**black gold man** · January-03-13, 11:10 PM

Look at this DAT and it is in the US 1938 firetruck

Could have used that at Pearl Harbor.
