Not a chance conception ... but a deliberate plan ... Chrysler9s New Style is Based on Authentic Canons of Classic Beauty Chmlcr’i matching of ■lea dec - profile radiator with cowl bar moulding baa it* oHgio in tht repetition of motif in the bittoric friete of the ancient Parthenon Chrysler engineering has achieved something never done be fore in motor car design. It has searched oiu authentic forms of beauty which have come down the centuries unsurpassed and unchallenged and has trans lated them in terms of motor car beauty and motor car utility. The lengths to which Chrysler designers have gone in this patient pursuit of beauty will doubtless prove a revelation to those who have probably accepted Chrysler symmetry and chasm as fortunate but more or less accidental conceptions. The Chrysler process goes far deeper than any charming but fortuitous design. For, Chrysler has left nothing to chance. Chrysler has not relied alone upon the inspiration of indi vidual designers. Chrysler in its newest products—has found that there are«so many glorious precedents and inspirations in art, architecture and design, that the search for authentic and harmonious sym metry, can actually be reduced to something like a scientific system in which results are certain.
