Re: [Chrysler300] The Ghia 375 link

["Richard Rowlands" <richro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Shah ordered and owned many cars.  Don't be so sure that Ghia only made 
one car for him.

I know of the car you're talking about (it's called the K-300) and have 
photos of it too.  As I said in my email, this information is according to 
David Burgess-Wise's book on Ghia.  He was head of Ford Europe's Corporate 
History Office and should have a pretty good idea since Ghia was integrated 
there.
