This concept car was DeSoto’s answer to the Corvette. It was styled by Ghia, and although it never made it to production, it is still lovely to look at.

Yeah, those are spectacular. So emblematic of the era...

I’d say it’s probably one of my favorite jet-age car tails of all time. It looks like it could go shooting into space at any moment...

Nothing tops this. Nothing.

The Chrysler turbine car just looks straight-up space-age. But it deserves to. That is a spectacular rear end.

ha - I’ve been there. That is Grand Park on the east side of Mt. Rainier. They must have flown that thing in (or maybe just used a backdrop?)   This is what it looked like in 2017.
