1962 Dodge Concepts

62 Dart Convertible said:

I have been reading about Virgil Exner and that for 1962 Chrysler modified his original B-Body concepts into what Exner famously dubbed "plucked chickens".

Does anybody have any links to images of models, sketches or plans of Exners original concepts?

My dad was a Chrysler stylist. He started in 1958. Shortly there after he was tagged to refresh the look of the B-Body's.
The stipulation was that the fender/door had to fit the existing outer cowl shape at the A-pillar. The 63 Plymouth was his first big design used. After that the 64 Plymouth. He also designed the "Fratzog" triangular shaped Dodge emblem. I have some 63 concept pictures on my other computer. I'll try and post them later.
