1952 Chrysler D’Elegance<\/h1>\n
\n

This one-off Chrysler d’Elegance was a signature car of Chrysler designer, Virgil Exner. It firmly entrenched his career at Chrysler and heavily influenced the 50’s era Chrysler “letter” car series. <\/span><\/p>\n

This car was upgraded by Chrysler in 1954 with the larger 354 cubic inch HEMI and the new torque flight transmission and 12-volt electrical system. Also, the service plagued disc brakes were converted to drums.<\/p>\n

Immediately afterward Chysler produced another car know as the notchback \u201cThomas Special\u201d coupe and 25 adional cars known simply as the Chrysler Special were prepared by Ghia in Italy.<\/p>\n
