Car of the Day: Ghia-bodied Chrysler Dart1

This Ghia-bodied Chrysler Dart was one of the largest cars in the Turin car show in 1956. It was an example of the Chrysler watchwords of โ€œForward Lookโ€ and โ€œFlight Sweepโ€ carried to a logical extreme. Significant features of the concept car include the development of the windscreen into a roof so as to afford unusual upward vision, and the embodiment of a chromium-plated rubbing strip which helps protect the painted surface of the body in the event of minor accidents.
