Maserati commissioned both Vignale and Ghia to create prototypes for a four-seat grand tourer based on a 2600mm wheelbase with their 4.2-litre V8 engine. The Maserati Simun was Ghia’s proposal, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and presented at the 1968 Turin Auto Show. Maserati went with Vignale’s version, which became the AM116 Indy that entered production in 1969. The Simun remained a one-off

1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe,

The collaborative concept was envisioned by Luigi Segre, owner of Italian styling studio Carrozzeria Ghia, and Wilhelm Karmann, whose coachbuilding firm was already manufacturing Beetle convertible bodies.

Volkswagen approved the prototype, and debuted the first Type 14 at the Paris and Frankfurt auto shows in 1955, bringing the model to the U.S. later that year.

The successful design soldiered on for two decades, with 445,000 examples made through 1975.
