With minimal trim to mark the different brands and model, The straight sweep of their "Forward Look" began from the eyebrows of the headlamps to the tip of the fins. Even the luxury New Yorker and the luxury performance 300C kept the lines unfettered by excessive trim that marked the GM and Ford lineups.

Some of my very favorite DM models.  My mom had a 57 New Yorker sport coupe in that turquoise color.  Man was that a beautiful car.

I do have both of these and they are gorgeous models. I did however lower the rear on my convertible.

Steve & John, it is a prototype that was not made into production - just prior to DM's 'end-game'. John, my dear friend, Rick Hanmore, then the DM Design Manager, was a frequent guest to our home and brought it, and a couple other like specimens, with him on one of his visits. I photographed them. He owns this one-of-one.
