Can't tell coz it could have been a 500 with all the appropriate upgrades, or it could be a 55 with the Style IV wheels.

Would need to see the brake calipers as well as interior to determine

A 500...despite the exhaust, the grey alacantara headliner (as opposed to black) is the dead giveaway for me.

even so...this still looks very good for a 500...at least appearance wise one can't really tell the diff unless you're really picky and pick out those tiny differences...bump for a nice and clean 500/55 hahaha
