I like all of these Ghia creations from the1950s. I have the Jaguar versions in 1/43.
The Chrysler museum had one similar or the same. Thanks John.

Boy, Chrysler really missed out on not producing some of these Ghia's.

Me too! Unmistakably Chrysler, unmistakably Ghia!! Gorgeous automobile!

@carsman1958 I agree John. Some the Ghia designs were pretty far out but this one looked like it was ready made for production.

what a stunning vehicle. I kinda prefer the cream and black colors. Was trying to think of a description when all I had to do was read the copy "with subtle lines that included a beltline crease, subtly finned rear fenders with bladed taillights, and a low roofline reminiscent of their coupes on Alfa Romeo chassis."
Another great selection, thanks John.

if you ever get a chance would love to see the Jaguar versions David. Also been meaning to ask if you have any Historic Replicar Jaguar models? I have a stunning 1/24 C type. Been trying to find out more about them. There's a very expensive D type on ebay at present. Thanks in advanceI like all of these Ghia creations from the1950s. I have the Jaguar versions in 1/43.

Wow, very regal looking. That definitely would be riding in style.

Hi Geoff,
I have seen the Historic Replica 1955 and 1957 LeMans winning D-Types in 1/24, I passed up on them at the time concentrating on building my 1/43 collection. I do regret that decision. 250 of each were produced, I believe and no doubt there are more other issues like your C Type. I only have a dozen or so jaguars in 1/24 or larger but over a thousand 1/43 and smaller.
I had right eye cataract surgery this week and get the other eye done Oct.21st. This has somewhat limited my photographic activity. I will do a feature on some of my Jaguars once I recover enough.
My Ghia Jaguars are from Provence Moulage kits in 1/43 resin. I also have a Matrix version, I think. I have quite a few Replicars models in 1/43 but I am sure that this is a different company.
