1954 Plymouth Belmont Concept.

The Belmont was the first plastic-bodied (reinforced fiberglass) Chrysler 'idea car', an experiment in new materials and design.

It had a 150-horsepower, 241-cubic inch, 3.9 liter, V8.

It was made for the 1954 Chicago Auto Show by Briggs Manufacturing and designed in the Advanced Styling Studio, under the supervision of head stylist Virgil Exner.

The rear skirts make it look slammed.

It’s red, it’s convertible, it’s wire wheels and big white walls, it’s red. Yes please.

It looks like a 50s Corvette and T-Bird had sex and produced a deformed child...

That looks similar to something else I remember from the same time period. Can't put my finger on it.
It'll come to me eventually.

To me, there’s a lot of 53 Studebaker Commando in those body lines.
