IML: Last Ghia-bodied Imperial soon to be for sale

[Chris Hawkins <imperial1966@xxxxxxxxx>]

A recent flyer from Kruse indicates the 1966
Duesenberg prototype will be sold at the Labor Day
Kruse Auction in Auburn Indiana.  Get your bidding
pass now.

Using many bits of custom hardware also seen on the
last Ghia limos, the 1966 Duesenberg was built by Ghia
on a stretched 1966 Imperial chassis.  Since the last
Imperials previously bodied by Ghia were 20 1964
models made into limos (10 sold as 1965 models), this
lone 1966 prototype is the final collaboration between
Ghia and Imperial.  Appropriately enough, the result
was meant to become finest car in the world - a
Duesenberg - but one has to wonder about the wisdom of
designing a car (and business case) around a chassis
that was going out of production in a few months. No
wonder this revival never went beyond a single
prototype!
