The Chrysler C-200 was a concept car released in 1952 by Chrysler.

Beginnings

[edit]

The C-200 was designed by Virgil Exner. He and his small team designed the car at Chrysler Corporation in Detroit, Michigan. It was built by Carrozzeria Ghia, a company in Turin, Italy.[1] The base price was $20,000. The car had the power of an American Chrysler V8 in an Italian sports car style body. The interior was upholstered in black leather and the exterior paint schem was a two-toned pale green and black.[2] The 'gun-sight' taillight design was featured on later Chrysler production models.[2]
