P.S. C'est pas cher $495 000.00, une Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante 1937 a fait $8 750 000.00 et une Ferrari 250GT 14-Louver Berlinetta 1957 a fait $9 460 000.00, il n'y a rien là $495 000.00...

celui de Sinatra  

Sinatra’s dice remained hot in 1957.  His best remembered work of the year is probably his Capitol album Come Fly With Me.  I have always loved the Lockheed Constellation on the cover.  The album’s theme was a musical trip to exotic places, and then back home.  Sinatra’s Dual Ghia was sort of an exotic place all by itself.  The car is an interesting mix of Virgil Exner’s designs, Ghia’s prototypes and Chrysler drivetrains.  It is an interesting story that we do not have time for on this tour.

Salut 427copoz,

Ronald Reagan a joué au poker avec l'ancien président Lyndon B. Johnson.
Reagan a parié son Dual-GHia.
Il a perdu.
Jonhson a conservé l'auto plusieurs années.

Ce Rat Pack par Barris est pas mal cool  

This particular 1961 Dual-Ghia L6.4 is even more rare than most of the other 25 examples made, as one of eight cars modified by legendary Kustom Kar King George Barris. It was the second L6.4 produced and shares the prototype's lower roofline, but was also remodeled by George Barris at his Kustom Coachworks when it arrived in Hollywood. According to the eBay Motors listing, the headlamps were remodeled into flush oval Euro Headlamps (the original design were traditional ovals), and the turn signals were subtly hidden inboard behind the grille.
