The Chrysler Ghia Plainsman, a wagon with a lot of travelling in it's history




built in Italy, then used for promotional and design research, and when the term limits for not paying taxes (import duties) arrived, it was shipped to Cuba. There it was owned by a bank president, who sold it to a Chrysler export manager, who fled Cuba when Castro seized the govt, and moved to Australia. When he retired, and moved back to the USA it came with him. Italy, America, Cuba, Australia... few cars have ever traveled as much unless they were being used to travel across continents is my guess.

the high school present car, that was taken away, and stored til the dad died... with only 5000 miles on it


Purchased by a North Dakota farmer for his daughter as a high school graduation present, it was taken away when the girl’s underwhelming academic performance returned her to the family farm after a brief stint in college. Carefully stored in the farmer’s barn, and forever off limits to his daughter, the car sat untouched until the man’s death in 1970. Then, the car had a mere 5,000 miles on the odometer; today, it’s racked up just 36,000 miles and is described as “entirely original,” down to the wood, chrome and carpeting.
