This was Chrysler's Virgil Exner's last Concept car and I can see why. It was crushed decades ago but the pictures survived. To think that top executives at Chrysler actually put money into this project is amazing! Somethings are best not saving.

The 1961 Chrysler Turboflite was one of a series of Chrysler Turbo engine Concept Cars. This one was Virgil Exners last concept car.
It's a very strange looking "Buck Rogers" car even by today's standards but all in all a bit of History in the world of Future Cars.
