1954 Plymouth Explorer Ghia Sport Coupe: The One-Off Dream Car Italy Built for America

Описание: 1954 Plymouth Explorer Ghia ✈️: 115mph Jet-Age Legend — a one-of-a-kind American concept car hand-built in Italy and nearly lost forever. This is the rarest Plymouth ever made, born from a transatlantic collaboration between Chrysler’s Virgil Exner and Turin’s Carrozzeria Ghia. Beneath its hand-formed steel and sea-glass paint beats a humble 110 hp flathead six, good for a surprising 115 mph.

We’ll take you from its 1954 auto-show debut to decades undercover in Europe (including a bizarre stint pretending to be a Jaguar), its rescue by Joe Bortz, and a meticulous restoration to its original jet-age glory. Along the way, you’ll see how this car bridged Detroit reliability with Milanese elegance — and why collectors would put it in the million-dollar league today.
