Goodwood Festival of Speed 2010 - 1955 Ghia Gilda Streamline X Coupe
Described as "the Coolest Chrysler ever made", this car was built at the request of the American automobile designer Virgil Exner and was styled for Ghia by Giovanni Savonuzzi. The original intention was for it to be powered by a gas turbine, but at the 1955 Turin Motor Show it had an OSCA 1500 engine. However, the original dream was realised in 2008 when the car was rebuilt by Scott Grundfor and fitted with a 70bhp AiResearch gas turbine that idles at 54,000rpm.
