Artifact Overview
Virgil Exner, Chrysler's design head from 1953 to 1961, introduced the Flight Sweep I concept convertible in 1955. A hardtop version, the Flight Sweep II, was also created. Built by Ghia of Italy, the Flight Sweep cars embodied the dramatic "Forward Look" -- characterized by tall tailfins and aggressive front ends -- seen on Chrysler's production cars from 1955 to 1961.
