You're the winner, Bob.

Its a 1954 DeSoto Ghia Adventurer II. One of the Motorama cars after Virgil Exner arrived at Chrysler. Longtime ownership by the Sultan of Morocco before returning to the US.

My favorite was the Nardi wheel with Hernando in the center. Turin meets Detroit, or Madrid, at least...
