[Chrysler300] The Ghia 375 link

["Wayne Graefen" <wgraefen@xxxxxxx>]

The Ghia bodied Chrysler 300C chassis at 
http://www.autohobbydigest.com/MysteryChrysler.html
is not the so-called "Shah of Persia" car for Reza Pahlevi (the Shah). 

That car has an entirely different windshield, vent and side glass, quarter window, and more greatly sloping back glass.  The roof C-pillar is mere inches wide.It does not use the impact bars of the '57 Chryslers as front or rear bumpers.  The Shah's car sat inches lower and is always pictured with wire wheels and does not have fender mounted park/turn lamps.

On the web page the car shown is the Ghia type 375, a far less attractive car with a C-pillar that could be 20 or more inches wide, and has no quarter glass.  The "375" is always shown with factory 300C wheel covers.   The best known photo of the 375 car is in Valerio Moretti's book Ghia Automobilia on page 216, lower.  On the same page the Shah's 300 car is shown upper in interesting contrast.
