If you want to see something really interesting, you may want to have a look at this unique concept car created by Chrysler, which today is an American subsidiary of Dutch multinational automotive manufacturing corporation, Stellantis. This is the 1995 Chrysler Atlantic, which is a fascinating concept that started out simply as a sketch on a napkin drawn by Swiss American automotive executive, Bob Lutz. Later, the Atlantic concept would be officially brought to life and designed by Bob Hubbach, with contributions also made from American automobile designer, Tom Gale. As you can see, the Atlantic is unlike any other automobile to ever wear the Chrysler badge, boasting unique design elements and features such as four-wheel disc brakes, neon interior lighting, and overall styling that was inspired by the iconic Bugatti Atlantique coupe of the 1930’s. The Atlantic concept remains to be one of the most interesting concepts to come out of the 1990’s, and automotive enthusiasts have admired the concepts unique-looking long hood and pontoon fenders since the day it was introduced to the world in 1995 at the Detroit Auto Show. The Atlantic was developed using a tubular chassis, and both the subframes and suspension from a Dodge Viper. The exterior is stylish, however, once you have a look at the interior, you’ll find that no corners were cut during the production of this so sick concept. High-quality materials, and art-deco styling gauges and dials that were designed to imitate Swiss watches can be found upon entry inside the cabin of the Atlantic, which truly gives the car a complete look overall. The popularity of this concept has caused it to appear on a number of automotive car care products, and in a wide variety of automotive advertisements throughout the years. The Atlantic still remains finished in it’s deep gold paint finish to this day, and makes occasional appearances at shows and events around the world.
