1952 Chrysler D'Elegance
This beautiful 1952 Chrysler concept car was a collaborative works between designer Virgil Exner and Luigi Segre of Carrozzeria Ghia in Italy. Exner was tasked with this project to develop "idea cars" in order to chart a new course for Chrysler design, away from the company's famously well engineered, but dowdy looking cars. You can see how the grill design influenced that of the later fifties Chrysler 300's. Also, the free standing gunsight tail lights finding a home a few years later on their Imperial line.
