Just received the 1954 Chrysler Ghia Special Pics:
This model is of the '54 Chrysler Ghia Special just out from Kess. The 1:1 car is owned by a friend of mine here in town. It was a long time in it's restoration and was completed in 2012. We took it the Pebble Beach that year. As far as we know the only Chrysler Ghia Special with quad headlights. There was the Cadillac in '53 with them. The low mounting would not be quite legal now and I don't know about then as the car was not build for the American market. A very nice and unique one off with quad headlights and one of only a very few Chrysler Ghia Specials made then.

Super model Curtis. Your background information along with the background poster really make the picture complete. Thanks for posting.

Nice model Curtis
I wonder, can you tell me if this was the original paint scheme or the way that your friend had it restored or both?
