Elijah has a VERY interesting book on Ghia. And,
indeed, the Ghia Crown Imperials dipped into the bins of several years. You can
read all about them here:
There also was a very informative article on these
beauties in Special Interest Autos. It came in two parts. You can read the
articles here:
A couple of trivia items: The early limos
(including the e-bay model) started life as a two-door coupes. If you notice,
the e-bay car has the vinyl landau top of the coupe clearly visible. Also,
only the '63 model had the distinctive free-standing headlamps installed. '61
simply borrowed the previous year's front-end treatment while getting the the
new 1961 "floating" tail lamps.
These are rare and wonderful cars to see and read
about!
