Seen in Beverly Hills Cop II . It looks like a one-off Ghia bodied '50's GM show car. I figure one of you know exactly what it is!

I believe its actually a Dual Ghia, which is Chrysler-based.

Yep, 1957 Dual-Ghia Convertible, based on a Dodge frame and powertrain: a 315 CID V8.

It's said that very few of the 117 made between 1956 and 1958 still exist.

Dual Ghia

A Duel is where two men (generally) stand at a distance and shoot at each other or fight with their swords.

Dual means double.

Only slightly. Duel =/= Dual. The rest was just me being a sarcastic pedantic ass.

Only about a quarter of them or so, I believe. Astonishingly low for something so rare and exotic, even '50s Corvettes have a 50%+ percent survival rate.

Considering it's an American version of an Italian design, needs to be something like Tony or Vinnie
