    Say it isn't so, Joe. I had to get used to this body, which first I knew of on 8V Fiats, and then there's one on a 427 Cobra (1) and one or two on Alfas, and one on a Jaguar and now some auction company is going to have this body on an Aston DB2 at Monterey.

    It's a 1956 Aston. They say there were 15 Supersonic bodies where before I heard numbers like 10 or 12. They seem to be multiplying. Somehow it doesn't look as good as the Fiat 8V application but maybe that's just me.

    I was wondering about this as well.

    Yes, the body takes some time to grow on you, but now, so many years later, I think it is one of Ghia's best efforts, certainly of the era.

    As an aside, I seem to remember that the one on the Cobra-chassis was originally also fitted to a Fiat 8V chassis.

    Best,

    Jack.
