Woot, Woot !! The story is fascinating. I liked the NO "A" Pillars on the design.

One of the Ghia cars I posted earlier, was to be on that same ship, but was held up by mechanical work being done. Thus, missing the doomed ship ride to the bottom. .

It appears to be very modern, check out that windshield frame and the bonded glass, not rubber gasket like in the 50’s.

And the seats, nice 80’s GM look to those headrests.
