Chrysler/DeSoto Flight Sweep I, 1955
4-passenger sport convertible concept car
The 1955 Flight Sweep I/ Flight Sweep II - These two cars - a convertible and a hardtop - were used to explore the idea of prominent tailfins, a styling theme the company pursued in its 1957 lineup. The Flight Sweeps were members of the commercially successful lineup of Forward Look cars.
First shown to the public in 1955, the Flight Sweep I appeared in the Chrysler exhibit during the 1956 Chicago show. Standing only 53.6-inches tall, the 4-passenger convertible featured smooth, clean bodylines with upswept tailfins, integrated bumpers and a windshield that sloped sharply at 56 degrees.
В 1955 году компания De Soto представила три концепта. Шасси их были изготовлены в Детройте, а кузовы – в Турине, в мастерских Ghia. Из показанных в том году на «Мотораме» родстера Falcon, кабриолета Flight Sweep I и хардтопа Flight Sweep II наибольший интерес вызвал последний.
