My father worked in Chrysler's Design department and knew Ex and Maury Baldwin well. Even though his niche was designing exhibits (not cars) for auto shows, he did personally design the Silver Fox's office at Exner's request:

While going through my father's memorabilia, I also found several 1960 and '61 Detroit Auto show slides that I can convert and upload if anyone is interested. I also have a copy of "Car Life" magazine, May 1960 that has a few Mopar articles I can scan and upload if you'd like.

Cheers,
Brian

Location: Under the X in Texas		If I might suggest a focus, the Car Life mag has been seen by some of us and would be available on eBay, etc. but the slides you have are something we could never see anywhere else and those are what I personally would most be interested in. Thanks for offering!

Location: Magra, Sweden		It's really amazing to be able to get a glimpse behind the curtains in Ex's office, to see the drawings on the wall.
I really appreciate you share this with us, thank you.

Sounds like we might get to see some shots of some '61 Dodges . . .

I know I do!
The worst thing by far though is when I am offered free 1957 Plymouth bumper wings and two door hardtop cars in original low mileage condition...that really wears on me!

Location: Parts Unknown		I once stumbled into a giant trunk full of original dealer lit. Not the common stuff they handed out to the public, but the
stuff for sales staff to do their jobs. Promo postcards, product announcements, dealer magazines, model pricing and options lists .....

I am still deeply disturbed by that experience.
