The one-of-a-kind 1957 Chrysler Diablo concept car, designed by Chrysler but built by Ghia in Italy is pictured above. Along with the Chrysler Norseman, another concept car, it was scheduled to be shipped to the United States on July 25, 1956 aboard the luxury liner Andrea Doria. Because of delays in production, the Diablo's shipment was rescheduled, and as fate would have it, the vehicle would be saved from being lost forever. On July 26th, the Andrea Doria sank off the coast of Massachusetts with the Norseman in its' cargo hold, never to be seen again.
