 Location: Branson, MO | It's a TORQUEFLITE! Nice car but will undoubtedly wind up at more than the $20K it's at now. Any guesses? I'm thinking near $35 to $40K. |

Beautiful car. Still plenty of things to clean and improve in the engine bay and undercarriage while still being able to drive the car.
I would have questioned the Torqueflite based on the image of the Owners Manual but the scheduled build date was July 11, 1956 (quite late) and the VIN N56-33779 is very close to the last Detroit-built 56 Chrysler with VIN N56-36162, so TorqueFlite is very possible

Originally came with Powerflite (we can see 4 above S on the cowl tag); Torqueflite equipped cars have 6 above S:

Also originally built WITHOUT factory Air Conditioning: there is no 5 above M on the cowl tag, it should indicate this item;
***BUT*** IT HAD an optional GASOLINE HEATER, the 6 above F on the cowl tag says us about this;
I can see removed gasoline heater in the spare parts box:
