The seller offers for sale this 1960 Chrysler Windsor, powered by a 6.3-litre V8 Golden Lion 383 engine, paired with an automatic transmission.
This example is finished in black and presents in good condition throughout. The body retains what appears to be its original paint and shows the chrome trim and whitewall tyres characteristic of the model. Original Quaker State and Shell service stickers from a Wisconsin dealership remain in place in the door jambs, suggesting the car spent a significant part of its life in the United States before arriving in Europe. The interior features the distinctive full-width dashboard with push-button controls and the original “Windsor” script on the glovebox fascia. The instrumentation is lit in teal, and the speedometer is readable and intact.
The Chrysler Windsor was Chrysler’s mid-range full-size model, positioned below the New Yorker in the brand’s lineup. The 1960 model year saw Chrysler adopt the bold “Forward Look” styling developed under Virgil Exner, with pronounced tailfins, a distinctive oval grille, and quad headlights grouped in pairs. The Windsor for 1960 was offered as a four-door sedan and hardtop, powered by Chrysler’s B-series V8 in 383 cubic inch form, marketed as the Golden Lion. These large American classics from the late 1950s and early 1960s are increasingly sought after by collectors for their dramatic styling and period character.
The 383 cubic inch engine produces 305 horsepower in standard tune and is paired with the TorqueFlite automatic transmission, one of the most reliable units of the era. The car rides on a full perimeter frame with torsion bar front suspension, a setup that gives a notably smooth ride.
