Exner was way ahead of everybody when it came to styling. I wish I could wind back the clock and shared a day with him. That would of been very cool! Take him for a ride in my Super Bee!

I have a feeling if given a choice between the two I bet he'd beg for a ride in the NYB.

Too bad he didn't live long enough to ride in a formal NYB. I'm sure he would of liked it.

Wonder if he would have approved of the design.

 

[Mr C]

Probably not. Formals were Elwood Engel's last Chrysler design and I can't think of two polar opposites more than Exner's organic, flowing lines and Engel's angles.

That's about what I was thinking, too.
