Dual- Ghia Coupe 1956?

I have it as 1957 actually but it probably appeared late '56.

I'm not sure that "Chrysler" is correct in the name for the Dual-Ghia cars.  The designs were based on Chrysler concept cars, but they were created by Gene Cassarol's Dual Motors, which shipped Dodge chassis to Ghia for bodies to be fit and the rest of the finish work done.  They were then sent back to the US and marketed to the "rich and famous."  There were a total of 117 of them built, and according to one resource, there are 32 remaining.  One anecdote tells of Ronald Reagan losing his to Lyndon Jonson in a poker game.  Sheesh!
