Vehicle Overview
The Chrysler 75 Ghia Coupé de Ville, convertible to an internal driving configuration by installing fixed windows and a roof in place of the driver’s compartment, is a masterpiece of automotive design dating back to 1929. This vehicle was crafted by the prestigious Carrozzeria Ghia, one of Italy’s most renowned coachbuilders known for producing luxurious and high-class bodies. The choice to base the body on the Chrysler 75 chassis, an unusual model in Italy at the time, gives the car a unique and sophisticated character. The Chrysler 75, an imposing vehicle with an eight-cylinder engine, was already a prestigious car, known for its reliability and elegant design. However, the bodywork designed by Ghia took a step forward, introducing innovative solutions, including the ability to convert the car into an internal driving configuration. This meant that fixed windows and a special roof could be installed in place of the external driving setup, an adjustment that allowed the vehicle to be adapted to the driver’s needs and weather conditions. The Chrysler 75 Ghia Coupé de Ville was not just a means of transportation, but a true status symbol, a work of art on wheels that combined advanced technology with aesthetic refinement. Carrozzeria Ghia skillfully blended elegant and innovative lines with Chrysler’s American engineering, creating a car that remains an icon of vintage automotive design. Its rarity and beauty make it an extremely sought-after model among collectors of historic automobiles.
