Well, JX3, you are correct in that respect. I think it's well known that 'Frank' did own a Ghia, as pictured in that post. I only meant that the current 'secret car' would be likely seen at Dean or Frank's house, amoung others. I know I saw at least one of these back then. I was in my teens / early 20's during that period, and lived not too far from the Hollywood-ish area in West L.A.

Just trying to give somebody else a chance to give an answer.

Jowett Jupiter, Mk1
First manufactured 1952

This also happens to be a Jowett, with a prototype body. Remind you of anything?

Congrats on the correct answer Krash! Yeah that estate reminds me a bit of a Rambler. Now for another mystery car, who can identify this one?

Simca Vedette
One of the guys I went to high school with drove a Simca--how a Simca ended up in Indianapolis is a mystery to me.
The model he had was a 4 speed on the column..when everybody wanted 4 on the floor.

Since you answered the last two I would assume it would be your turn to post up a mystery car
