NAME: 1959 Scimitar ((Coupe, Wagon and Sedan variants))
Famed auto designer Brooks Stevens created three Scimitar models for display at the 1959 Geneva Auto; an All-Purpose Sedan, a Hardtop Convertible and a Town Car Phaeton. All three cars were built on a 1959 Chrysler New Yorker Chassis.
Olin Aluminum financed the cars and extensively used lightweight metal to construct the vehicle. The car’s name is derived from the Scimitar shape, clearly evident in the upward sweep from the lower front fender to the top of the rear fender. The silver-appearing areas are anodized, brushed aluminum.
The cars were never produced or offered for sale. The wagon is still displayed at the National Automobile Museum in Reno, NV today.
