I've been hunting down Forward Look era literature for about ten years.
Here's a list of items from my collection that may be helpful to you. The
numbers that follow some pieces are the form numbers that were used for
ordering literature from Chrysler Corp. You can usually find them on the
back or inside back page. These numbers help differentiate the different
pieces when you're buying from literature dealers over the phone or by
mail-order. (After all, a '56 Plymouth brochure can describe a few
different pieces.)
'56 Fury:
2-page letter dated January 10th, 1956 to all Plymouth dealers announcing
the introduction of the Fury.
Small part color folder announcing the Fury.
Part color folder "Plymouth smashes two U.S. stock car records."
There's also probably a press release or press kit.

In addition I have three '55 and four '56 Plymouth postcards.
The Plymouth brand tends to have to more literature the than other Chrysler
products. Probably because it was the high volume "bread & butter" for the
company.
If you can find them, there would also be Color & Upholstery showroom
albums, Auto Show Press Kits, press preview catalogs, dealership
announcement kits, Service Bulletins, Forward Look jewelry, banners,
posters and tons of other showroom promotion stuff.
Time to go to bed...
