In 1954, Chicagoans witnessed the debut of the dashing Dodge Firearrow convertible dream car, surrounded by twirling ballerina mannequins. Power train consisted of a 150 horsepower, 241-cubic-inch V-8, connected to the PowerFlite automatic transmission. Up front, the dual headlights hint of a coming trend in automotive design, and twin chrome exhaust tailpipes were located at the bottom of the rear fenders. A glimpse of the bold harlequin-patterned black and white leather cockpit is seen in front of the boot cover. The sign above the Dodge exhibit proclaimed, “ Elegance In Action.”
