Chrysler New Yorker XX-500 Pininfarina

Chrysler President K.T. Keller was in search of a more economical means of constructing prototype and experimental vehicles, and Italy’s struggling postwar economy and considerable pool of car-making expertise presented an opportunity.

Vehicle Overview

In 1950, Keller commissioned two cars on Plymouth chassis, one from Ghia and another from Pininfarina as a trial run for the prototyping process. While Keller was evidently pleased with Pininfarina’s work, it was determined that the workmanship from Ghia was better overall, and all the work from then was awarded to Ghia.
