Don't know if I have ever seen numbers at all.
The steering wheel and column really mess you up don't they. That is the
same assy used from 49 up amazingly. First saw this when I saw a chassis
with engine and steering wheel a few years ago and thought it was early 50s.
Was for a 56 300 the guy was doing.
Had one near here a few years ago and couldn't get myself to pay the 500 the
guy wanted. Lots of rust and not very restorable to me but had great wheel
to use on one of my 50s.

Subject: [FWDLK] 3-speed '55 Chrysler on Ebay
Hey gang,
Have you seen the 2-dr. hardtop 1955 Chrysler Windsor on Ebay, with the
incredibly rare 3-speed column shift? It's a project, needing everything,
and is located in the Texas Panhandle (sorry, but that's about 350 miles
from me, so I can't check it out for you). SOMEBODY has got to save and
restore this car. If I didn't have so many restoration projects already, it
would be me. I love oddly equipped cars like that. Ebay # 1818057402.
Doesn't run, is rusty, and looks like it has been sitting outdoors for many
years. $400, the last time I looked.
After 25-30 years of attending car shows and auctions, I saw my first
3-speed column-shift 1955 Windsor last October at Hershey. It was a blue
4-dr. sedan in the car show section on Saturday morning, and being a
single-color, plain-looking 4-dr., I almost passed it by, but when I looked
inside and saw that factory stick shift, I nearly fell over. I took a photo
of it after that! Hey, Terry H., how rare are these????
