 Harry Dundore, owner of Die Craft Corp. in Baltimore, had the car built on a 1957 Chrysler 300-C chassis by Gordon Vann's Custom Shop in Berkeley, California. Dundore's inspiration for the car came from a drawing he brought back with him from a business trip to Ghia in Turin.

That's it, yes.
It was said to be inspired by the Chrysler Ghia Specials marketed in the US in the mid 1950's.
