That's right ! The sensational new Chrysler Norseman showcar is almost in America and being sent on a big ocean liner from Italy, where it was fabricated. It is a beautiful and futuristic dream automobile and I can hardly wait ! Even now it is just off the coast .......

I remember the event dominating the news. I asked a lot of questions - I was 9. The ship's name stuck in my mind all these years. That and the Stockholm.

It's a shame they just don't make beautiful cars like that anymore. I could see this on a showroom floor for sale today, probably a $75,000 sticker price and then with dealer price gouging adding another 10k.
