c. 1950s; Dodge Division, Chrysler Corporation - Detroit, MI
Large-format Dodge Kingsway automotive advertising poster depicting a turquoise and white four-door sedan set against a stylized desert landscape with towering saguaro cacti and a dramatic sunset sky. The artwork prominently features the flowing Dodge script and Kingsway model designation above the vehicle. According to the accompanying archival label, this original paper poster was produced for export-market promotion and has been professionally linen-backed for preservation. The piece is presented in a black frame and retains strong mid-century automotive styling associated with Chrysler's Virgil Exner-era "Forward Look" design language.
Dodge marketed the Kingsway primarily to export markets from the 1940s through the 1950s, adapting Plymouth-based vehicles for international sale under the Dodge name. The 1955 model reflected Chrysler's influential Forward Look styling program, which helped redefine American automotive design during the decade.
