I love these. There’s only one but: ”Chassis DG128 last changed hands in early 2017, when it sold at a Florida auction for a fee-inclusive $231,000,”
...
There are two others on the market at present. Both priced close to 500K USD.
 
I'm not too enthusiastic about this model, they had way nicer concepts that would have deserved a limited production.
This one should have made it definitely. At least it served on a scaled down form as the VW Karman Ghia template.

I’m sure you know we have a member who has restored, or more like reconstructed a number of Dual-Ghias. He knows them by heart.
 
Can't remember, but there's nothing wrong with that at all.

I also has the lines of a modern day Bentley Continental GT.

I just found out that the color on this car has been changed. It used to be creamy yellow only some ten years ago.
But I suppose it presents better in Indigo:
