Imperial Crown Ghia limousine, 1965 - cars & trucks - by owner -...
Rare crown jewel hidden for many years
1 of 10 built and 1 of 2 true Italian-built
1965 Imperial Crown Ghia limousines known to exist.
A true 1965 Italian Ghia will have a 413 engine and
pushbutton transmission, which this one does.
The mechanics were redone over the past several years
It runs and drives, but needs body, paint and interior
restoration, which we cannot do due to disability.
Previous owner said it belonged to Janet Dulles
(wife of John Foster Dulles) who bought it new
(or maybe the gov't did). She may have painted it silver
and used it in her work at the Thailand Embassy in
Washington, D.C. from 1965-1969.
It is possible Presidents Johnson and Nixon, as well
as Robert Kennedy, and the Dulles's friend Dwight
Eisenhower and who knows how many other dignitaries
may have ridden in this vehicle. It is also possibly the
last true Italian-built Ghia limousine in the world.
Will sacrifice this rare piece of history to a good home
or museum for $165,000.00/neg. May take in partial trade,
a newer model 4dr 4x4 full size truck or possibly another
classic or antique vehicle.
