[Chrysler300] Re: Chrysler Norseman-Coming up on Golden anniversary

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Thanks Cuz, for the correction on the Andrea Doria car.  I knew it was  some 
kind of "man".  For some reason the Norseman would not show up on your  
referenced site.  300ly, Gil

The 1956  Norseman shown at http://web.aanet.com.au/finnedmopar/concept.html
is  indicated to have gone down with the Andrea Doria.  It looks a lot  like
the '67 Dodge Charger fastback--The Dodge Plainsman wagon is also  shown at
that site.  The text under the Norseman picture does not  identify it as a
Chrysler, but the very interesting Wikipedia story of the  sinking on Jul 25,
1956 identifies the concept car as a Chrysler  Norseman.  It has a
cantilevered roof without A or B pillars.  

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Andrea_Doria

The sinking  produced a footnote in automotive history, as it resulted in the
loss of  the Chrysler Norseman, an advanced "one-off" prototype car which had
been  built for Chrysler by Ghia in Italy. The Norseman had been announced as
a  major attraction of the 1957 auto show circuit. However, it had not  been
shown to the public prior to the disaster, and was lost, along with  other
cars in the Doria's 50-car garage including a Rolls  Royce.
