Matrix plans to issue a Pinifarina version soon.

I can't imagine what inspired that Ghia design ...

... but Ghia shamelessly re-cycled the overall theme in the Chrysler Diablo, which appeared a year later.

Model also by Matrix.

I find the Chrysler a little subtler (all things being relative, obviously) but I guess someone could love them both.

Harvey; May have been influenced by Alfa BAT designs?

Jetsons came later. I'd say the Chrysler concepts got copied. or at least cross-shared.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

More than a little '57 Chrysler in that rear clip.
