One would expect that a car as distinctive as the De Soto Adventurer II concept would have an intriguing back story, and it does, but not so much from the Chrysler half of its parentage. Rather, as Michael Lamm pointed out in his story on the Adventurer II in SIA #, Ghia is to be credited with its design and construction, and even then, it was adapted from an off-the-shelf Ghia design. Nevertheless, it’s become one of the more recognizable Chrysler Corporation concept cars of the 1950s, and Lamm took the opportunity to bring back some driving impressions. |
