1957 Dual Ghia, a limited production American car with Chrysler power (some Hemi) and body by Ghia in Italy, with what was called " the world's longest production line."
I found it at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in 2016 in Italy.
Wikipedia: "The cars were mostly bought by American celebrities, such as Frank Sinatra, Sterling Hayden and Richard Nixon. Desi Arnaz owned one, but he wrecked it. Ronald Reagan owned one, which he lost in a high-stakes poker game with then-President Lyndon Johnson. Dean Martin drove his Dual-Ghia in the film 'Kiss Me'."

The Film was 'Kiss Me, Stupid' with Ray Walston and Kim Novack. It's worth watching, IMO. One of the very few films where Dean plays a douche, which went opposite his real life persona. I LIKE Dual Ghias. Hand built cars with Chrylser power. All the power and none of the rattles.
