Between 1961 and 1963, 26 Ghia L.6.4s were built, a muscle car with an elegant body built in the Italian coachbuilding tradition. Owners included celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, who received top-class luxury and impressive performance for the price of a Rolls-Royce. This report describes the history of the Ghia L.6.4 and shows the vehicle in historical and current pictures, as well as the original sales brochure from back then.
In the fall of 1961, the Asimmetrica was on the Ghia stand at the Turin Motor Show. As its name suggested, it was asymmetrically shaped and thus quoted the slanted in-line six-cylinder engine from the Chrysler Valiant. Ghia hoped for series production, but nothing came of it. Instead, the car became the property of a famous novelist. This article tells the story of the Ghia Asimmetria and shows it in many historical and current pictures, together with its predecessor and successor.
In the early 1960s, the Italian coachbuilder Ghia offered a beautiful coupé based on the Fiat 1500. The idiosyncratic 1500 GT was called the Gran Turismo, which was eventually produced in several hundred units but is as rare today as the rarest Ferrari or Lamborghini. This report tells the story of the Ghia 1500 GT and portrays an example from 1965, supplemented by extensive historical images.
Between 1965 and 1967, almost five dozen Ghia 450 SS were built, which received the technology from the Plymouth Barracuda S, but the rest from Carrozzeria Ghia. The design came from the Sartorelli/Giugaro team, but the idea for the car came from the American Burt Sugarman, who later became a film and TV producer. This report tells the story of the unusual convertible and shows it in current and historical pictures.
