 |
|
So yesterday I was browsing at Barnes & Noble checking out new issues of Ultra VW & Volksworld, after that I was wondering throughout the aisles.
I was walking by the Bargain books aisle and noticed a book called "Flirting in Cars" and noticed what resembled as a late Ghia driver side door including the chrome side mouldings.
What do you think?
Zoom in and look at the body lines/seams: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/0743268970...mp;s=books

I think you're right.
Although the front door handle gasket
appears to be missing, looks Ghia to me.

Door lines front and rear as well as the door handle and trim see to be the style of a later Ghia. Too bad they didn't show a little more of the car. Did you happen to look in the book for any other pics?

I flipped through the book, but no pics since it was a novel.
As for the author Alisa Kwitney, she looks pretty fine to me 
Alisa Kwitney is the daughter of science fiction writer Robert Sheckley and journalist Ziva Kwitney.

Where is the rest of the Gorilla suit that she is wearing the hands and forearms to?
