Regular Posts: 88 Location: Puyallup, Washington | I regret that I have neither photos nor specific information about the years or models of his Forward Look Chryslers, but I've read that Juan Trippe always traveled to his Manhattan offices -- in the Chrysler Building and the later Pan Am building -- in a chauffer-driven Chrysler or Imperial. Trippe was founder and president of one of the USA's most influential corporations during the Forward Look era -- Pan American World Airways (Pan Am). A Forward Look Chrysler was the perfect automotive statement for the man who launched America's "Jet Age" with the Boeing 707's in October, 1958. Edited by Centurion 2011-01-13 7:54 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 3068 Location: Scotland | chrysler300c - 2008-02-14 11:50 PM No pictures.... didn't expect to see him and they likely would have been in black & white anyway. It was stunning with that blue with the gold tone side trim. I didn't ask but I always thought it was interesting that blue & gold were the colors for UCLA, which Ricky was attending at the time.

Expert Posts: 2473 Location: Dalveen, Queensland, Australia | Bill Maguire's Motor City Garage pages have now sprouted a pictorial on famous people and their cars... There is one Forward Look examples, and other Mopars as below, but I do suggest folks click onto the page and have a look at all of them. The other thing that interests me in these is that there are stars there with humble Plymouths.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 362 Location: North Carolina | The first movie I think of with a FL car, other than the obvious one, is the 1959 Plymouth Sport Fury driven by Don Knotts in "How To Frame A Figg". This is the car and color I will hopefully own one day. Sorry for the quality, but I was filming from Netflix on my tv. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBed-RJqg0o&feature=youtu.be Edited by Kungfupanda 2013-01-16 10:13 PM | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 774 Location: Atlanta GA USA | 5859 - 2008-02-14 1:06 AM How about some pictures of Peter Gunn (Craig Stevens) and some of the cars on his show? I don't have them otherwise I would post them myself, maybe someone else does. I just watched the great St Louis Bank Robbery with Steve McQueen, no one actually drives a Forward look car, but there is a scene where one of the robbers is doing a stakeout of the bank in a Desoto dealership lot, a nice rear shot of a 58. McQueen is about to steal a license plate. Looks like a '55 DeSoto in the scene. (00000017.png) Attachments ---------------- 00000017.png (185KB - 306 downloads) | ||
