A sleek, high-performing luxury hardtop from Chrysler’s Forward Look era, the 1956 Chrysler New Yorker Newport Two-Door Hardtop combined Virgil Exner’s signature long-and-low styling with pure FirePower Hemi muscle.
Stuffed with a massive 354 ci FirePower Hemi V8 pumping out a standard 280 hp through a 4-barrel carb, paired with Chrysler’s revolutionary dashboard push-button PowerFlite automatic transmission (or the early mid-year PowerFlite/TorqueFlite options).
Pillarless hardtop profile defined by distinct “flight-sweep” rear tailfins with integrated tower-style taillights, a bold split front grille, hooded headlights, and full-length side chrome moldings accenting two-tone paint options.
