(Courtesy of Roger Willbanks)With its smooth, aerodynamic body shell; hidden headlights; enclosed wheels; and a retractable, one-piece metal hardtop (an American first), this stunning roadster hinted that tomorrow’s Chryslers would leave their angular, upright, and more prosaic rivals in the dust.

Some of the Thunderbolt’s advanced features found their way into post-WWII production Chryslers.
