Information
This 4-passenger Chrysler Thomas Special was first in a small run of 18 Ghia-built bodies, based on the 2-passenger Styling Special that garnered much interest at the 1952 Paris Auto Salon. The French Chrysler importer got C. B.
Thomas, Chrysler's head of exports, to approve the limited production—hence the moniker 'Thomas Special.' This car was shipped to a Chrysler importer in Switzerland, and following exhibition was sold to a Swiss meat-packing company, where it remained for 17 years. The car was discovered in a barn in Switzerland in 1970 and purchased by its second owner, who maintained the vehicle for 41 years. In 2017, this Thomas Special came stateside and was sympathetically restored, preserving the many original elements that make this car unique.
