About this car
The Dual-Ghia was a short-run American-Italian hybrid: Carrozzeria Ghia bodywork in Turin on Dodge running gear, built for Dual-Motors founder Eugene Casaroll, who vetted his buyers. Fewer than 100 are believed to have been made, and the design traces back to the Dodge Firearrow concept that Dodge chose not to put into production.
This car is serial number 163 and was first delivered to the Austrian-American portrait painter Count Rudolf Anton Bernatschke and his wife, Cathalene. It has the correct 315 cubic inch Dodge Poly V8 with a two-speed automatic gearbox, and is left-hand drive.
It has been restored previously and is finished in Tuxedo Black over a cream interior with a contrasting hood. The engine-turned instrument panel and the original owner's dash plaque are retained. No mileage or registration is given on the page.

Performance
The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Only the drivetrain layout is given: Dodge 315 cu in V8, front-engined, RWD. Power, weight and performance are null because there's no reliable factory figure. Ghia built the bodies in Turin and Dual Motors finished the cars in Detroit. About 117 were built, but this was never an announced limited run.).
