Ghia 1953

Italy

 

 

1953 saw a major development in the ownership of the company as an argument between Mario Boano and Luigi Segre blew out of all proportion and the latter bought the complete rights. The Boanos went on to work independently but soon afterwards went to work for Fiat, setting up the Centro Stile Fiat and working there until retirement. Back at Ghia, Segre turned to a friend and colleague, Giovanni Savonuzzi, to fill the position of technical director, or chief designer.
