Any guesses on exact year?

No real clues to narrow it down Ev. From that angle all lowlights look the same. The Euro spec cars didn't get the towel rails and he's obscuring the view of the steering wheel which could identify the pre Aug '58 cars. Did think the additional script on the left of the decklid could have been "Supercharged" but it doesn't look like it on closer inspection.

Nowadays he'd get arrested for wearing those shorts in public. Wink

Is that a reverse light on the left side? Stock or aftermarket?

Found this on the interwebs today, and thought it was really cool - so thought I would share. Looks like it's pulling a kayak? Judging from the rust it must have been to the boat ramps afew times.

It's not a Kayak. It's a rowing shell for sculling. Smile

This is my favourite vintage Ghia picture...hardly surprising I suppose. I have posted it in the forum before but not in this dedicated thread so I though it ought to appear here.

The slide, (which I bought on EBay) is dated Sept. 1960 and the location I'm reliably informed is somewhere in NY State (licence plate colour) if not NYC itself.

I agree that is a really cool vintage picture.
Props to the Blue Baron for posting so many pics recently!
