1962 Ghia L 6.4 Coupe & Engine Start @ AZ Concours d’Elegance on My Car Story with Lou Costabile

On "My Car Story" we're in Phoenix AZ at the Biltmore Hotel for the Arizona Concours d’Elegance on 1-24-16.
We're looking at a 1962 Ghia L 6.4 Coupe.
The car's Owner is John White. John shares this car was in the 1962 New York Auto Show. What a treat to see this car and hear John tell the story!
ENJOY!

Hi Simon, You have great taste in cars, Lou

[@OsbornTramain]

So much of this car is Chrysler, the door handles inside and out, the power window switches. I've always loved this car ever since I had a toy of it in the early 60's a green Corgi

Hi OsbornTramain, Happy to read "I've always loved this car ever since I had a toy of it" :-) Lou

[@janknuckey]

Every little boy who played with toy cars in the 60s remembers this car - it was the first die cast model to have 'the works'; that meant opening doors, opening hood and opening trunk. Corgi toys made it; the same folks who did the James Bond car and the Batmobile!

You really find incredibly rare and stunning cars: this is a masterpiece in style by master Ghia: one of the best Italian car designer ever. Simplcity and pure lines are the key for elegance and classic style. American cars were surely beautiful too, however often with too much chrome and useless complicate designs. Thanks for this rare pearl!

+gene978 Hi gene978, You make me so happy when you view and comment. Thank you, Lou

[@chrishenniker5944]

Typical late fifties/ early sixties styling cues, yet the car points to the Plymouth Barracuda and late sixties Chrysler models yet to come. I love it, even wanting one.

Always great to see any “Chrysler Ghia.” Too sad Chrysler went from this era to today’s phantom make under Stellantis.

Lou just found this, never knew this car existed. Looks like a hodgepodge of different cars, but very nice. Keep the finds and videos coming.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Bruce, Happy to see you're finding some gems in the "My Car Story with Lou" library :-) Lou

[@OsbornTramain]

It really looks like a Chrysler / Ghia product....if you never knew about this car, you probably didn't know about the Ghia Chrysler Connection from the early 50's to mid 1960's. Ghia did many Chrysler Show Cars. they did the bodies of the Chrysler Turbine too. This car is totally not a hodge-podge but the normal evolution of the Ghia Chrysler connection

[@chrisjeffries2322]

This was one I missed, But hey I like your hair cut pal.

Hi Chris, Glad you dig the hair, and happy you found this car :-) Lou
