We don’t know how many of these specimens were produced, but we believe, with good reason, that there are very few of them, very few.
Ghia-Aigle originally operated as a subsidiary of Carrozzeria Ghia, becoming independent in 1953 and temporarily located in Lugano (1954–58). Designers were mainly from Ghia, including Mario Boano (1948–51), Giovanni Michelotti (1948–57), and Pietro Frua (1957–60). Of course, the aesthetic philosophy was Italian, although some design elements were more pronounced, as in the case of this car, the rear fins curving inwards, reminiscent of those on the Alfa Romeo BAT bodywork.
We found more information online about this particular car, and it appears to have chassis #234869. The first owner was Swiss, who participated in October 1956 at the 13th Concorso Internazionale Eleganza in Campione d’Italia, and in March 1957, the car was exhibited at the 27th Geneva Motor Show (an event for which there is a photo, although the car appears dark). Furthermore, it seems that it was originally equipped with an engine modified by Nardi, which is now lost. In any case, this is a very special and rare car at an affordable price, considering the rarity of the vehicle. Thanks to Fluc for this tip!
