1955 Chrysler (Ghia) Streamline X
Planned for a Jet Turbine Engine










The 1955 Chrysler (Ghia) Streamline X "Gilda" got its name from a 1946 Rita Hayworth movie. After foregoing a planned jet turbine engine, Italian firm Ghia outfitted the Gilda with a plain 1.5-liter engine made for touring. The design is an antecedent to a short run of Chrysler turbine cars, and the fins tell you it’s from the 1950s.
