Seems to be 1968 "concept" for '71 MY, with some obvious styling cues, as this was not exactly the 'Cuda that showed up that MY ..The squared-off lines on side/implied in back .. not so much.

A fella studying Art Fitz work looking for things he MAY have done with OEMs other than GM and Ford.

1953 Plymouth at Sun Valley Inn in Idaho
Yep, I think the background building (only going by the right-offset window over the vehicle opening) is still there perhaps??

Kinda "Chrysler" (Nash >> AMC >> Chrysler) a historian thinks in early Art Fitz.
Whoever did it ('52 or '53 Nash Ambassador) looks like they may have took some "artistic license" with the dimensions of the car, yes?

Aside -- Although this car is older than me, I am definitely old enough to have ridden in the backseat like those kids are doing .. no belts. by the 1960's I was old enough to enjoy the ride.
Yes, i am way good with belts/car seats/air bags - probably saved 500,000 people in US alone since since they became mandatory equipment in late 60s.
I remember our 1962 car accident in my Mom's 1957 Chev Bel Air. Ma was driving (she was 24), her sister (age 22) in front seat, my younger sister and I in the backseat - "playing with the wind" with our hands out the window - when we t-boned somebody who ran a red light.
Relatively low speed so NO fatalities/serious injuries, but I crashed into the back of my aunt's head and got a lovely shiner and a bloody nose, my sister sitting next to me landed on the tranny hump under the dash - a little bruised but crying like crazy.
Minus that one scare, I am just reminded of some good times in the car when for some "old-timers" of my vintage

Nice picture, but that's a 1956 Chrysler New Yorker, not an Imperial.
this one is before my time ... but here's another view from the 1956 Chrysler Imperial Brochure i got it from.
Btw several other cars represented as 1956's from the "Imperial" brochure.... A "St. Regis", a "Newport", and a "Town & Country"
anyway, badge sure looks like it says "New Yorker". so I gladly defer to my own eyes and your superior product knowledge @Mike66Chryslers

see #197-#199 ..
my source was mislabeled as "Imperial" (and in my complete unfamilarity of these years I didnt catch it)when all these cars seem to have "New Yorker" badges
I infer then that at one time early on the "Newport", "St. Regis", and "Town & Country" were New Yorker nameplate "packages"?
