The 1960 “International Experimental Ghia” was an enclosed body dragster designed by Tom Tjaarda at the Turin, Italy Ghia studio. You can see the Stingray-ish styling cues of the sharp horizontal line going down the body and the humps at each wheel. The IXG was to set <1000cc drag racing records and incorporated under-car aerodynamics several years before Jim Hall and the Chaparral team brought them to Can-Am.
It has a front engine and a center seat canopy behind the rear axle. Ford sold the car at auction in 2002.
