440's Mopar Car Of The Month for April 2010: 1957 Dual Ghia # 137. In the early 1950s, Chrysler designer Virgil Exner had created a series of striking "Firearrow" concept cars crafted by Italian coachbuilder Ghia. Eugene Casaroll --who owned Dual Motors Corporation --bought the rights to the Firearrow design. By 1956, Casaroll's first car, the Dual-Ghia, was in production. Casaroll built about 100 Dual-Ghias through 1958, at a price of $7646. The attraction of the Dual-Ghia was the successful mating of a superbly styled and executed Ghia Italian body with Chrysler Corporation running gear.

The automotive press lavished it with praise. It became known as the "car of the stars" owned by such celebrities as Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, Richard Nixon, Desi Arnaz, musicians Hoagy Carmichael, David Rose, and other such "well knowns" as Sterling Hayden as well as actress Natalie Trundy and tennis star Gussie Moran. Reportedly, Ronald Regan owned one, which he lost in a high-stakes poker game with then-President Lyndon Johnson.
