Taken in August 1976. Why is the guy having a nap on a cot? Presumably it's someone sleeping, not a mob hit who was too heavy to dump in the river. (Mitch Epstein pic from RetroNYC Facebook)

This was an ultra-rare luxury coupe powered by a Chrysler Hemi V8 engine and result from a collaboration between Chrysler and the Italian coachbuilder Ghia. Only four units were produced, all sold in Europe to French and Italian customers. It was a standout model at the 1955 Turin Motor Show and represents a significant "idea car" of the era.
