Chrysler Design Art Gallery Brings Decades of Designs to Auto Enthusiasts and Art Collectors

Original automotive illustrations, including many highlighting several of DaimlerChrysler's most celebrated concept and production vehicles, are now available through the Chrysler Design Art Gallery, exclusively at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum Gift Shop.

The original art by Chrysler Group design staff offers a rare glimpse into the creative process that has inspired Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge to introduce some of the industry's most distinctive designs. Sold exclusively through the Walter P. Chrysler Museum Gift Shop, the artwork features a range of automotive perspectives from bold exterior drawings to more detailed interior images. The illustrations are available in-store as well as online at www.chryslerheritage.com.

"Automotive design is a true art form with deep roots in American culture," said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President – Design, Chrysler Group. "Chrysler has a long, proud history of automotive artistry that we're delighted to bring to enthusiasts and art collectors through the Chrysler Design Art Gallery."

The Chrysler Design Art Gallery offers a changing array of designs in sizes up to 40" x 22". Pieces range from detailed pencil diagrams to elaborate full-color drawings. The current selection features Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge production and concept car designs, including the 1995 Chrysler Atlantic, a futuristic commuter vehicle and the 1988 Chrysler Diablo. The gallery also highlights the automaker's heritage lines, including the sleek 1992 Plymouth concept.
