This stunning coupé built on the chassis of a 1900 SS is said to be the car presented at the 1956 Geneva Motor Show, and is one of two examples built. We have probably also seen the second specimen which, from what we remember, should be painted in a light gold colour, but we couldn’t… Read More Swiss blue: 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900 SS by Ghia Aigle
“Der Afro” was the nickname that had Paul Breitner, a german football player during the 70s, included in the list of the 100 best players ever and, last but not least, FIFA world champion in 1974. If you search for some his photo on the web, you will immediately understand where his nickname comes from.… Read More Der Afro: 1977 Bitter CD by Ghia
Ok let’s face it right away: we have very little material on which to consider as this vehicle basically has no description. Whoever posted the ad has in fact made it clear that he knows nothing about this car, and that he posted the announcement and the photos to do his “computer illiterate friend” a… Read More Computer illiterate: 1964 Fiat 600 Jolly by Ghia

We do not take much care of the pre-war cars but not because we do not like them, but they are rare in themselves and the “specials” for sale are extremely rare. But every now and then some of them jump out as in the case of this Lancia Augusta the body of which was… Read More Prewar coachbuilt: 1934 Lancia Augusta Coupé by Ghia
Age brings with it wisdom, it is used to say, and in this case wisdom is love for vintage cars. The wise man who deals with this short film has found this model of Ghia 1500 GT on sale, bought it and restored it, and in the meantime discovered that the first owner was Tonino… Read More What are these pipes for on the ground?
This car was not built by Fiat but by Ghia which used indeed the Fiat engine, gearbox and suspensions but not the chassis: this one was designed by Gilco, an italian company specialized in building lightweight tubular frames. Less than 1,000 cars like this were made as these were not sold by the official Fiat… Read More Gilco bones: 1964 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia
It’s hard to improve the job of a genius like Ferdinand Porsche, even if who wants to improve it is another genius like Giovanni Michelotti. Indeed the result is quite odd but not beautiful. This Porsche 356 T6 coupé, the existence of which was totally unknown by us, was an attempt made by the swiss… Read More Restyling attempt: 1961 Porsche 356 B T6 Coupé by Ghia-Aigle
