The 1955 Chrysler Falcon Ghia Concept was considered one of Virgil Exner's best designs.
Three Falcon two-seater concept cars were created by Chrysler’s Advanced Styling Studio.
Designed by Virgil Exner and built by Ghia in 1955 the cars were intended to be competitors to the Chevrolet Corvette and the Ford Thunderbird.
Built on a shortened Chrysler 300 chassis, the Falcon had a carbureted, cast iron, 276ci overhead valve 170hp DeSoto V8 engine with 255 foot-pounds of torque, mated to a two-speed automatic transmission.
It weighed 3,300lbs., had a top speed of 115mph, and averaged 15mpg.
It was the first concept car with exposed side pipes, that had bumpers in the taillights, and set the style for the Chrysler 300 grille for years to come.
The interior featured a split bench style seat finished in burgundy leather with a floor-mounted shifter for the two-speed PowerFlite transmission and a Nardi wooden steering wheel.
The Falcon name was originally intended to be the name of the Plymouth Valiant.
However, Ford Motor Company released a production car with the name first at the request of Henry Ford II.
Chrysler changed the name at the last minute with a contest among their employees.
Chrysler was enjoying good sales figures at the time and decided not to mass produce the Falcon.
Then sales changed in 1957.

On this day in 1979, the Electric Light Orchestra single “Last Train to London” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #83 ( December 8 )
Songwriter Jeff Lynne said, “There was a certain period when it seemed we spent years on trains going back and forth from Birmingham to the various TV and radio stations in London”, which inspired the song.
The fifth and final single from ELO’s first UK #1 LP “Discovery” peaked at #39 on the Billboard Hot 100, but was more successful in the UK (#8), Ireland (#9), and Canada (#28).
The song was released in 1979 in the UK as a double A-side single with "Confusion", but in the US the two songs charted separately.
Not their most well-known single worldwide, but definitely a fan favourite…
