MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer this very special 1956 Chrysler Imperial from “Imperial America”, the third series of concept cars developed by world-renowned artist Lewis deSoto. The Chrysler Imperial was on display at the The Fields Sculpture Park in Ghent, New York and the Napa Valley Museum in 2011, as well as gracing the pages of The New York Times!
Lewis DeSoto has been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the United States as well as in England, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden. Known for public projects and sculptural installations that often incorporate sound, video and theatrical lighting, DeSoto brings to his work a strong interest in archaeology, anthropology, sociology, and world religions.
Mr. deSoto’s is customized 1956 Chrysler Imperial, illuminates the Chrysler Corporation’s little-known role in the Cold War military-industrial complex, the pinnacle of this design concept is the roof mounted 10.5-foot scale model of a CC-56 Redstone ballistic missile. Mr. deSoto is equally at home in the worlds of automobilia and conceptual art, and as a group, his concept-cars oscillate somewhere between the two.
