Not a Chrysler. It's a '55 Imperial Newport. "I've got a Chrysler Dodge Ram!" said no one, ever.

Drives me batshit.

Four, actually. The 331 was introduced in 1950 for the '51 model year in Chrysler models which from 1951-'54 included the Imperial; his mistake is probably that '55 was the first year Imperial would be its own marque, as it remained until the end of the RWD era. There were no "Chrysler Imperials" between model years 1955 and 1989 inclusive.
