The Chrysler Ghia Plainsman, a wagon with a lot of travelling in it's history




built in Italy, then used for promotional and design research, and when the term limits for not paying taxes (import duties) arrived, it was shipped to Cuba. There it was owned by a bank president, who sold it to a Chrysler export manager, who fled Cuba when Castro seized the govt, and moved to Australia. When he retired, and moved back to the USA it came with him. Italy, America, Cuba, Australia... few cars have ever traveled as much unless they were being used to travel across continents is my guess.
