1958 Dual Ghia Convertible Convertible

This Dual-Ghia Convertible, chassis number 195, is a late-production example that was produced approximately three cars prior to the end of its first-generation Dual-Ghia production. It has the Dodge Red Ram V-8 engine which produces 230-brake horsepower with 'Hemi' design.

The car was delivered by Sanders Motors Incorporated, a Cadillac dealer in Port Washington, New York, on April 18, 1958, at a cost of $7,300. The car was purchased by Lyman Kenyon Loomis. The car remained in his care in Green Farms, Connecticut, for three years. In 1961, it was sold to the present owner. The car has recently been given a complete restoration and finished in maroon. There is a maroon and cream leather interior and a maroon cloth top. The car rides on chrome wire wheels and is powered by the Dodge D-500 'Red Ram' V-8 engine with Carter four-barrel carburetion. There is a Chrysler Powerflite two-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.
