Chrysler C-200

Designed in Detroit by Chrysler engineers, C-200 was built in Italy and arrived in New York after a fast trans-Atlantic crossing on the SS Constitution. It is powered by a standard Chrysler Firepower V-8 Engine.

Vehicle Overview

The Chrysler C-200 was built as a soft-top companion to the K-310, it was also designed by Virgil Exner’s crew and Ghia. While both vehicles were strongly considered for production, lack of funds halted progress. One of the major differences was in the passenger seating while the K-310 was a four-seat vehicle, the Chrysler C-200 was five-passenger convertible coupe. Nevertheless, today we can appreciate some of the design innovations that Exner and company developed. Before the C-200, “blister” fender shapes and a depressed belt line hadn’t been seen on the road or in the Auto Show circuits. To further show that Chrysler Concept cars were designed to inspire future vehicles, the “gun sight” taillight design featured here was also featured on later production Imperial models.
