CONCEPT CARS 1950'S~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Creme de la Creme of Automotive Design
The Age of Chrome, Aerodynamic Excess and
Sheer Excitement
This is somewhat less-known concept, but perhaps one of the most flamboyant from Ford:
1955 Ford La Tosca:
Here is extremely rare and stunning 1957 Chrysler Diablo, also the result of collaboration with Ghia (considered the
most valuable concept car from the 1950s):
Probably the most flamboyant coachwork ever!
This is 1948 Cadillac Series 62 Saoutchik "3-position drophead",
which is also drop-dead gorgeous...
"Some of the most flamboyant, and expensive coachwork ever to come out of France was created, or caused to be,
by expatriate russian cabinet maker Jacques Saoutchik. In 1948, noted New
York city furrier Louis Ritter commissioned Saoutchik to execute a
special convertible on a Cadillac chassis. The car was completed in time
to be displayed at the Paris salon of 1949."
