Re: [FWDLK] 1956 Dual-Ghia

Hi John and others interested in "Ghia",

What is the name of that restoration shop and do you get back
there from time to time?  You may know I do extensive research
on the Chrysler 300C and offer a restoration handbook for the
model.  I have been trying unsuccessfully for years to get the
VIN and motor numbers from that car for my database.

Re: "two built" - the Ghia 400 was the successor to the Ghia
375.  Both are unrelated to the cars that were on the Andrea
Doria other than all having been bodied at Ghia in Italy.

The Ghia 375 was a vastly different concept car than the 400.
It was for sale last year in Hemmings, so also still exists.
