1954 Dodge Firearrow II -- February 22, 2014

We visited the Blackhawk Museum in June to drool over their collection of classic autos.  The 1954 Dodge Firearrow II is a concept car designed by Virgil Exner, with a body built by Ghia.  The sign mentions that the car has "no windshield frame, no windshield wipers, side windows, top or exterior door handles."  This car and the red Firearrow IV (http://cablecarguy.blogspot.com/2014/01/1954-dodge-firearrow-iv-january-23-2014.html) visited many 1954 auto shows together.
