As a side note I wonder if anyone is aware of the original car that started the evolutionary design process that led to the Chrysler 300? I started a thread that examined the retro design that is evident in our Crossfires that led to some interesting posts.
Check out the link below on the Voisin. It really is "butt ugly" but influenced some of the Rolls and Bentley models, and as the evolution continued you can see the link to the Chrysler 300.
