You never know what you might see at Cars and Coffee, particularly the day before the Dayton Concours. Below are photos of a very rare car, Ghia 450 SS. Only 52 cars were made, and perhaps only about half of them survive. Why 450? the car is powered by a Plymouth 273 cubic inch V-8 (4.5 liters), found in the Barracuda. Sold in Beverly Hills, CA, the car is another example of American-European hybrids of the 1960s.
This blog will expand on themes and topics first mentioned in my book, "The Automobile and American Life." I hope to comment on recent developments in the automobile industry, reviews of my readings on the history of the automobile, drafts of my new work, contributions from friends, descriptions of the museums and car shows I attend and anything else relevant.
