21 striking Chrysler concept cars

While Chrysler wasn’t the first manufacturer to produce a concept car – General Motors’ ‘Y-Job’ took the lead in 1938 – it was an early adopter, and from the 1950s created an impressive array of display vehicles.

So here, in chronological order, are 21 of the Chrysler Corp’s most memorable concepts, in all their glory.
