Just got a nice note from a reader about the driveReport on the 1961 Fury that was in the June issue of Classic Car. He wondered about the resemblance between the Fury and the Type 34 Karmann Ghia that followed it by a year.

Lots of people have concluded that Ghia’s design for the more familiar Type I KG was heavily influenced by Virgil Exner’s Chrysler d’Elegance show car, which Ghia was then building for Chrysler, but could there have been a Chrysler-Ghia link on the Type 3 car as well?
