ST. LOUIS - Missouriar -- ,Daniel Schmitt Classic Car Gallery in St. Louis announces it has acquired another piece of a Hollywood legend, a rare 1957 Dual-Ghia Convertible once owned by Frank Sinatra's production company. The vehicle was purchased and gifted to his one-time wife and lifelong friend, actress Ava Gardner.
The vehicle was one of only 117 produced. It was manufactured by Eugene Casaroll owner of Dual Motors Corporation in Detroit. Casaroll had US-built Dodge frames and drivetrains sent to Ghia in Italy. Ghia then shortened the chassis, handcrafted and fitted the swooping bodywork and luxurious interior and sent the partially completed vehicles back to Dual Motors. Only 34 Dual-Ghia Convertibles are believed to still exist and remain well-regarded for their stunning design and impressive comfort.
The Sinatra-owned vehicle has undergone a comprehensive show-quality restoration and is investment-grade. It has won multiple awards at prestigious events such as the Palos Verde and Greystone Mansion Concours d-Elegance. The car was also featured in the 1992 TV series, "Sinatra", and displayed previously at the famed Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.

"We are pleased to offer this rare Dual-Ghia Convertible finished in stunning midnight blue over a gorgeous blue and cream interior, with a matching dark blue top," said Daniel Schmitt, owner of Daniel Schmitt & Co.
"The car is the product of what was once called 'the longest production line' between Detroit and Italy," Schmitt said. "It features handbuilt bodywork, three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes and power windows. No expense was spared in its restoration. A true classic with great investment potential for the right owner."
The Dual-Ghia Convertible is now available for viewing and sale at Daniel Schmitt & Co. in St. Louis. The asking price is $349,900.
