Probably because it's the access to the headlight bulb.

Interesting—I
stand (well sit) corrected. I Have always thought the headlight
surrounds just like tail lite and park lite surrounds were bezels.
Never knew of that word till I got into old MoPars years
ago
Wonder
why they differentiated them from the other items?

No
The correct term for
this item (bezel - rim) is "headlight
door".

55 Chrysler, Imperial and Desoto models shared the all chrome headlight
bezels and the lower model 56’s used them also while the upper models used
the new painted bezels.
I've had several '55/'56 Chrysler &
Imperial cars over the years and still have seven. That said I have found
that all '55's had chrome headlight rims and '56's had painted headlight
rims. The painted rim is not a chrome one just painted , it is made
differently. This is just FYI for what it's
worth.

limo's).
I've always loved '56 Windsors since my old man
bought one in '61. I'm a little suspicious of this one though,
there are signs that it has had a quickie used-car-lot style paint job
thrown on, as several other aspects of the car show wear around the
edges that wasn't corrected. Both '56 Windsors I've owned had
chrome headlight trim rings instead of partially painted like this one,
so I wonder if they're trying to cover up pitting, etc.
