Design study by Ghia of Italy for Chrysler. The roofline was used by Chrysler for several dream cars and on the Dual Ghia, a very limited production car of 100, that was built from 1956-1958 on a Dodge chassis by Dual Motors. One good thing about Chrysler, they were very loyal to America, unlike General Motors. During Ww2 GM had executives meet Nazi envoys in Switzerland to make sure that if America lost Ww2, GM would be in Hitler’s “good graces”. After the war, GM sued the US government ie American taxpayers for damage to their Opel factories in Germany and won a hefty financial settlement in 1967 ! Mind you Opel was one of the biggest recipients of Marshall Plan Aid monies in Germany right after the war. (Opel became a division of GM in 1929, so GM could get a foothold in the European auto market) -Rj
Wow ! Big Dude

ReplyDeleteWhat a cool design. Now that we have electric cars, they should bring some cool designs to it... vintage ones.
