Nicely done. The story is sprinkled with details a casual car fan might not know, and you've included a picture of the car's body buck I've not seen before.

Did Coachbuild pay you for the exclusive use of the article, or can we pinch it for inclusion here?

Excellent!    :applause: :thumbsup: Great read. And as soon as I heard the name Andrea Doria, a shudder of premonition went through me. That tragedy was one of the first disasters to be broadcast live to the world via television ("live" being a relative term in comparison to today's technology.) I remember the stories about it vividly.

The roof line reminds me so much of another Chrysler product that is stuck in my memory. Thought it was a Charger or Challenger.

No wait. Out of the fog of my twisted mind comes the answer:

Btw, shouldn't this article be in the Featured Article section?  Well done, sir!

First you think your luck is bad because you missed the boat.  Hindsight is underrated.
