Re: [Chrysler300] The Ghia 375 link

["Richard Rowlands" <richro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wayne, as I said in my email, I know the car you're talking about and have 
photos of it.  We're talking about apples and oranges.  I've already 
acknowledged the car you're referring to (the K-300).

Ghia built many cars for many people.  I doubt they only built one for the 
Shah.  The list of other cars you provided are not even Ghia cars.

All books have inaccuracies and Ghia's own records are scarce at best. 
Nothing is written in stone when talking about coach built cars.

Are you aware of the 300B bodied by Boano...?  I have photos of that car 
too.

Regards,
Richard..
