La Porte Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, serving the greater La Porte, IN area, is committed to keeping you current on the latest news concerning the new Chrysler models. And while there's nothing that we love more than reporting the enhancements to models like the 300 and Town & Country, it's sometimes fun to take a look back at the timeless classics that preceded them.

This is the reason why you'll often find us keeping track of the latest Barrett-Jackson events. The renowned automotive auction company is known for putting famous collector's cars, historic concepts and other hard-to-find models up for sale to the highest bidder. As you can imagine, the back and forth between attendees can sometimes escalate rather quickly, especially when there's an iconic Chrysler model up for grabs.

Case in point: the 1956 Chrysler Diablo Concept. Created by the famed Virgil Exner Sr. and custom styling firm Ghia, this sinister convertible wowed bidders in the blink of an eye with its bright-red paintjob and contrasting black drop top. Equally stunning is its length. Measuring in at 21 feet long, this is the one of the largest custom-bodied convertibles ever created by Ghia.

Combing stunning good looks and a rich history, the 1956 Chrysler Diablo Concept was able to fetch an incredible amount at auction. Its final selling price: $1,375,000.
