Del....
Thanks for the additional photos. It seems very definite that Chrysler has
had this design on the table for many years.

George,
   Check this website for the beginnings of the 1953 Chrysler-Ghia succeeded

by the Dual-Ghia ( 1956-1963 ) using Dodge components.

The 1953 Chrysler version was undoubtedly the inspiration for the 2005 
300C - I must be getting CRS disease not to have recognized the similarities

between them until now.  Almost a carbon copy.  I'm sure the designers at 
Chrysler are breathing a collective sigh of relief that the similarities 
haven't been pointed out in any press releases or reviews of the 05' 
version.  They ( borrowed ? ) heavily from Virgil Exner's design and are 
reaping all the praise and rewards for making a few modernized changes - no 
wonder it's a winner and so popular.  I have 2 of the Maisto 1/18 scale HEMI

C's in black - just waiting for a low mileage  (real ) one to show up on the

used market.  Check out the website above and see what you think.........
