01
Artifact Overview
Virgil Exner left Studebaker Corporation in 1949 to begin work as chief of Chrysler Corporation's Advanced Styling Studio. His newly created department was tasked to develop forward-looking Chrysler concept models. This "idea car," the Chrysler Special, was unveiled to much acclaim at the 1952 Paris Auto Show. Unlike most concept cars, Exner's Special was both stylish and fully operational.
