Thank you for the article on the 1955 Chrysler Ghia Falcon. I will make sure that Joe sees this article. Many know that many of the greatest concept cars have been in the Bortz Auto Collection. For two years in a row circa 1989-1991 Pebble Beach featured several of Joe’s cars. The photo below is of the Falcon and two other Ghia cars that Joe owned at the time. We are very excited about the Falcon going to Pebble Beach.

This is Chrysler.
My life has been so impacted by the brand, it’s aura and it’s amazing products one could call it an obsession. Many might question my attachment, but it’s like a form of identity, an association of something that gives meaning to life, though not critical, it matters and it’s gratifying.
We now are witnessing the demise of something that matters, that give meaning in someway to many lives, even in small ways because of ignorance and indifference, at best, a serious lack of appreciation.Hapless leadership going forward for Chrysler has failed miserably to foster and preserve a unique part of American culture. Perhaps I overstate, perhaps I am blinded by bias and emotion, but damn it I’m sadden by the situation and viewing this classic and outstanding sample of that glorious Chrysler ethos just saddens me deeply. As stated, I have little faith in current Chrysler leadership and the validation of that void of confidence is in the confusion and indecision that reeks from the public face now obliterating Chrysler.
Greatness was once Chrysler’s image, today all we have are memories and treasures like the Ghia Falcon that painfully remind us what could have been.
Is there anyone who can save this brand? Hope springs eternal. Let’s hope.
