The Chrysler Windsor was produced during the following model years:

• 1946–1960 (postwar through last U.S. model year)
• Continued for one more year in Canada, where the 1961 Chrysler Windsor was sold as a unique Canadian-market model.

1960 was the last U.S. model year for the Windsor nameplate. In 1961, Chrysler streamlined its lineup; the Chrysler Newport became the new entry-level full-size Chrysler in the U.S. The Windsor name remained respected in Canada until the end of 1961
