The one-of-a-kind 1957 Chrysler Diablo concept car is unlike anythin
I've ever seen. It's a long sleek convertible which will be auctione
off at Monterey's famed classic car weekend this August by R
Auctions. The Diablo is one hot devil car, note the little pitchfor
on the side . It was conceived by Chrysler's design head, Virgi
Exner and built by Italian coachbuilder Ghia on a 1955 Chrysler 30
series chassis and Chysler invested over $250,000 in the project bac
then. It was a featured concept car for the 1957 US auto show circuit
At 22 feet in length this one must be a little difficult to tak
around corners. The car has been in the care of one owner for 2
years. It is estimated to sell for $2.5 to $3 million

The ultra-rare Diablo will join several other European styled sport
and racing cars and several classic American luxury automobiles at R
Auctions' Monterey auction "We have assembled the greates
collection of sports and classic cars ever brought together on th
Monterey Peninsula," said Ian Kelleher, Managing Director of R
Auctions. "The Diablo is simply the holy grail of all concep
cars in its era. Its upcoming auction in Monterey has receive
considerable international interest due to its rarity and the fac
that concept cars are a featured highlight of this year's worl
famous Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance," he added

Admission to the Sports & Classics of Monterey is $40 per perso
and an auction catalog is available for an additional $100 includin
shipping and handling within North America
