Based on the 1953 Thomas Special Chrysler Ghia, the Chrysler Ghia GS-1 cars were designed by Virgil Exner at Chrysler and built by Carrozzeria Ghia in Turin during the mid-1950s. A production run of 400 was the target, but in fact, only 12 were ever built - and all were slightly different.
This example has quad-headlights and an unusual hood treatment. Virgil Exner transformed what was a modified show car into a limited-edition grand tourer. The GS Specials were built on a New Yorker chassis with a 125.5-inch wheelbase. A Chrysler 331 cubic-inch 'hemi-head' V8 with the new PowerFlite two-speed automatic transmission made up the power train.
