Car Design as High Style, 1930-1965

Dodge Firearrow III Concept Coupe: 1954
This car looks as fresh today as it did more than half a century ago, when Chrysler first commissioned it from the Italian design house Carrozzeria Ghia. The result was a low-roofed sports coupe with an oversize grille, quad headlights, wraparound rear windows, abbreviated bumpers and a painted belly band — features now found on contemporary auto designs. Viva Italia!
