of that time. Everybody was trying to keep up with or jump over the other marques. I still think that Chrysler Corp leapfrogged everybody else with the '57 through '61 models. But I digress :-)
To give you an example of this kind of cross-pollenation ... What really blew me away when I first saw it was one of the similarities between Virgil Exner's design for the '55/'56 Chrysler and the design for the Lincoln Continental MK II. Not the whole thing, of course, but the hoods for the two cars look like they were sculpted by the the same hand. (I noticed this when I still had my '56 Chrysler and stopped in at a local Lincoln/Merc dealer that had a MK II in their showroom. The MK II was such a gorgeous car - Lincoln didn't even come close to equalling it's design until the last generation of the Continentals - but that's way OT. Gees, thinking about Continentals - I must be turning into an old f**t :-P)
