Motor Trend Magazine?s ?Car of the Year? award was presented to Chrysler for the unique styling, brut performance and superior handling of it top of the line cars. Chrysler always stood out when it came to styling, with lots of flare attributed to. Chrysler under the guise was one of the more styling conscience manufactures and their cars always stood out in parking lots. The big news for 1957 was the retooled 392 Hemi aka ?Elephant Motor?. This was the motor that dominated drag racing in the late fifties. This engine could also find its way into mom?s station wagon.

This lovely restored two tone tan and bronze with matching two tone tan interior grocery getter has loads of conveniences for mom and the kids, power front bench seat, power windows, radio, padded dash and a carpeted cargo area. But what set this wagon apart from all other family commuters of the day is the Special ordered ?Chrysler Fire Power? (392 Hemi) with air conditioning. That most definitely gave the kids in the school yard bragging rights when mom rolled in. This Chrysler station wagon boasts a plethora of chrome and stainless including wire wheels and wide white wall tires. The probability of procuring a factory production car with these near impossible option combinations of a 392 Hemi and air conditioning is rare, but in a station wagon, certainly gives credence to the fact that there were performance minded families back in the 50?s.
