#22 – 1959 Scimitar All-Purpose Sedan
Designer Brook Stevens designed the 1959 Scimitar All-Purpose Sedan as a vehicle that could meet a family’s needs. The car used a Chrysler New Yorker chassis along with aluminum. The roof could slide open and reveal a cargo area. Stevens would later incorporate the idea in the Studebaker Wagonaire. Reutter Karosserie completed the coach work. When the Scimitar All-Purpose Sedan roof was open, it could move bigger and taller objects. The vehicle debuted at the 1959 Geneva Motor Show. We think that is very cool.
