My parents always taught me that, if you can not say something good about someone or something...... well do not say anything at all. These Mopar concept cars leave a lot to be desired. Cheers.

The last of the Dodge Firearrow series of Concept Cars a 4 seater convertible.
Designed by Virgil Exner and produced by Ghia of Italy, another Chrysler product that could have competed with GM and Ford.
The decision not to go into production was mostly a financial one, but we still have all 4 Dodge Firearrow cars around as part of History.
