For 1955 Chrysler introduced new designs that borrowed from Virgil Exner's custom 1952 Imperial Parade Phaeton, replacing the high roofline cars of the earlier years, and the Imperial became a separate luxury make. Every New Yorker was a DeLuxe, with a four door hardtop new that year and a St. Regis hardtop. The 1956 PowerStyle car added a mesh grille, leather seats, a pushbutton TorqueFlite selector and a 354 cubic inch Hemi. Its model years run from 1955 to 1956.
