You might find a copy of "The Standard Catalogue of Chrysler." I have one for 1914-1990 and another for 1914-2000 and there probably are issues for other year ranges as well.

I have not seen MSRP lists for vehicles and options, but I do know that they became industry standard in 1959.
The information must be out there somewhere. Some people are crafting their own reproduction window stickers with data that they're getting from.... somewhere.

Standard Catalog of American Cars lists all this info. Standard Catalog of Chrysler should too. Hard to believe a Custom Royal Lancer 2dr was $3151! Coronets started at 2466 for a 2dr sedan with 6 cylinder, $120 more for V8. A lot of car for not much money.....
