This Ghia built show car greatly resembles the Chrysler show cars of the same era also built by Ghia.

I love almost everything about the Supersonic. My only carp is the side-center styling cue that dramatically tapers in half at the rear fender. Otherwise, a heartthrob!

Ghia used several different brand chassis for this design. I have the Jaguar version in my model collection.

Well, if Fiat didn't like it maybe Jaguar will.

Love reading of examples of rare cars "Fourteen of these masterpieces have survived and they continue to fascinate the hearts and minds of both the very few who knew about their existence and those who have recently discovered them."
Personally I love the design. So unique. Thanks John
