The Chrysler Norseman was a four-seat fastback coupe concept car built in 1956. Chrysler's stylists designed it, with Virgil Exner developing lower, sleeker cars in the Advanced Styling Group, but construction was contracted to the Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Ghia of Turin. It was a fully drivable car with a modified 331 cubic inch Chrysler Hemi V8 of 235 horsepower and a pushbutton Powerflite automatic, an aluminum body and an unusual cantilevered roof fixed only at the rear C pillars. It was lost when the liner SS Andrea Doria sank on its way to New York, so the public never saw it, and divers found its remains in 1994.
