Hi

The Dual-Ghia was the productionized version of the '54 Dodge Firebomb showcar, a Virgil Exner design, ergo still American in origin. Likewise the Karmann-Ghia is shrunken, refined version of the '53 Chrysler D'Elegance showcar.

It isn't that the Italians didn't present some appealing large cars, though they seem to be rare postwar......at least in the eyes of this beholder.
