Hey, guys! It sure is awesome...I can only guess why it's not included in today's cars. Perhaps it doesn't have the rigidity demanded for current crash standards....I'm only guessing. Thanks! :) Jack
@@coolrides You're welcoem and thank you for making a video to show us. As a man in his 20's I am in love with these pieces of history and art. Though I can not afford any window shopping never hurts.
Hey, Gene! I'm glad you found it! This has to be the best example of this model that I have ever seen! They didn't build them any flashier than this! Thanks! :) Jack
Beautiful is an understatement to describe this car! Drop dead gorgeous is more appropriate. And that instrumental dash is one of my favorite as well. Chrysler had it spot on for sure! Thanks Jack.
Hey, Donny! I agree! It was a designer's vision of the future, space age, in effect! It went way beyond simply a conveyance, and it was exciting for the public to share that vision! Thanks! :) Jack
True....but he was pressured into downsizing because of the rumor that Chevy and Ford were downsizing. Had he had adequate time to develop smaller cars, the results might have done him justice. Thanks! :) Jack
Jack, from my flightdeck - Exner's styling hard started to get out there at this time. However is there ever a better interior? And that 413 cross-ram...ooooof!👌🏼
Hey, Audie! I believe that Exner felt that this represented the direction for future transportation, almost the embodiment of a Jetson's scenario. Everything about the car including that interior had that futuristic inspiration. Thanks! :) Jack
Lots and lots of ‘300’ badges so you know what you’re looking at. And lots and lots of shiny plated metal in the interior. I regularly wonder how much it would cost to build cars like this today, in todays’s money, on a production line and put them in a showroom, when so much today seems to be generic blob shapes with spray painted front and rear body sections passing themselves off as ‘bumpers’, and interiors made up of sections of injection moulded black plastic.
Hey, Mick! It surely was a different world when this car went down the assembly line! I think that one of the things that changed how cars were built was the degradation of metal parts that was a vexing problem in the rust belt. You only had about 3 years of rust free operation before rust started eating away at grilles, frames, rocker panels, wheel arches and assorted chrome pieces....by then the car certainly looked used. Plastic was introduced as interior trim but it too disintegrated with sun exposure and time. Now plastic is much better in terms of longevity. And so the scene changes...the average age of cars in use now is 12.6 years. Durability surely is a factor, but also the exorbitant price of new cars nixes new car purchases. Thanks! :) Jack

Swivel front seats is an awesome idea! Nice car! 😀

Wow! Stunningly beautiful restoration of the last model year for the bankers’ Hotrod with fins.
Stunning says it so well! Exner's ode to the future! Thanks! :) Jack
God she is beautiful whoever did the restoration they are an artist.
Hey, Jonathan! Indeed...it is a masterpiece! Glad you like! Thanks! :) Jack

How I missed this? One of my all time favorites!

cool❤❤
Hey, Michael! THE car to get for splashy styling and amazing performance! Thanks! :) Jack
A total yes vehicle 👍
Indeed it is! One of those cars that will be talked about as long as there are cars on the road! Thanks! :) Jack

Wow, spectacular it is!
Hey, Jim! Spectacular covers it well! Not many words can describe its excellence! Thanks! :) Jack
A real beauty Jack!
Hey, Jeffrey! What a gorgeous vehicle! Virgil Exner's triumph! Thanks! :) Jack
Wow this one is nice! Brand new-looking, extremely luxurious, extremley powerful. Wow.
Is it any wonder why GM was concerned about this renegade from Chrysler, a beautiful example of Exner's work! Thanks! :) Jack
Agreed. But we were also starting to get a taste of Exner's strange descent into quite outrageous styling, too.
True....but he was pressured into downsizing because of the rumor that Chevy and Ford were downsizing. Had he had adequate time to develop smaller cars, the results might have done him justice. Thanks! :) Jack
