It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Shame :(

At least here's the sideview. A Strange car I must say. From the front view, I expected it to be much less "40s American".

I also have this pic, but thought it would be rather less attractive...

Maybe our Professor Jaray has some additional info and maybe even some historical  ;) pics in stock.

Not a single line in my catalogue of Ghia cars...if this is a GM special version made for the Shah of Persia and Ghia involvement was limited to its construction, I'll take a look in the catalog of american cars...but I'm afraid no other pictures. (unless I have the time to look in those old magazines....)

I gotta say, Allemano, you have the most creative ways of inscribing your name in the images. Not only that, every time I see it, I have to ask myself if it is really there or not.

That finger swipe in the dust is wonderful. How did you do that so convincingly?
