Nope, that is the Imperial Palace, but their good stuff is now gone. The old man died and his family has been auctioning and selling off his collection for over a year now... nothing but crap there now, and what's there has a for sale sign on it. They have a 56 Ford convert that I want but they wanted 35K for it and it was so wavy it looked like I did the bodywork.

I did the exhaust on a 57 Dual Ghia about 20 years ago. The owner said that the reason that there were so few 57's is that most were shipped over here on the Andrea Dorea which sank after it was hit by the Stockholm. They are on the bottom of the Atlantic ocean.

That was a great place. Sorry to hear about the auction. That 33 Buick is a nice piece.

Not True! The only Chrysler-Ghia to go down on the Andrea Doria was the Norseman which was a "dream car." However about 20-25 Lancia Aurelia Spyders went down with the ship. The only reason that there are so few Dual-Ghias is they only made around 150/yr.

I took no offense. That's what I get for repeating garage stories.

I think they did find the ship no too long ago. I was looking for Dual Ghias that were never there. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

YA I think they were alloyed bodied.

They tried to salvage the Andrea Doria about 20 years ago I think.
