Famous photo. Very special one of a kind Chrysler heading for its first and last voyage. Would loved to have seen this car. PJ

An original photo of the car before shipping, which is still resting in the wreckage of the ship.

Wow, I'd never heard about that! What a cool car that would have been.

The Chrysler Norseman ... lost in the sinking of the Andrea Doria and the Stockholm off the coast of Massachusetts in 1956. I was only six when this happened but still remember all the local news coverage of the siking.

Italian bodied Chrysler, shame as it almost made it here. If you read up on the Andrea Doira, the design of the ship helped her to sink due to the bulkheads being to low, as in the Titanic, plus the captain's fault for not adding seawater ballast before the trip on a high riding ship said it took to much time to do!

Here are a few more scattered pics of it, last pic during the building of the body in Italy.

I love the cantilevered top.

One could, with enough $$, get a custom hot rod shop to make a replica.

Side view of the roofline kinda reminds me of the AMC Marlin a bit.
