Arguably one of the most beautiful cars to ever wear the Chrysler name, the Ghia ST Special wasn’t exactly a high-volume model. In fact, a mere 4 were made, 2 going to customers in Italy and 2 going to customers in France. So it’s a big deal when one of these changes hands because it’s such an infrequent occurrence.

That’s not all which makes the Chrysler Ghia ST Special so amazing. It was the final design to come out the collaborative efforts of Virgil Exner, a legendary stylist in the automotive world, and Luigi Segre, chief of Ghia. Charles Ladouch, a French Chrysler importer, designed the car, which looks stately but not overdone.
