I went to the Woodward Dream Cruise again this year and this is one of many great cars you only get to see at this type of event. I took several pics of it but here is one or two.

Paul Farago, a Detroit-resident Italian-born mechanic, stylist, racer and car builder, was a Chrysler Engineer and friend of Virgil Exner. He supervised construction of the Chrysler Ghia prototypes and production limousines during the '50s and '60s, and even ran the Dual Motor Company in Detroit, which manufactured the Dual-Ghia cars. In 1969 he designed and built this concept car on Pontiac Grand Prix mechanicals to showcase the capabilities of Carrozzeria Coggiola in prototype fabrication. Farago assisted with the design of the Maserati Ghibli, and that car's long-hood, short-deck proportions are evident here. The vents on the hood had flaps below that closed above 40 mph to improve aerodynamics."

The CF 428 was projected with engineer Paul Faragos consultation (C is for Coggiola, F is for Farago) and 428 express the power of the engine. Initially besides the chassis of the Pontiac Grand Prix was thought about also using the engine of 6998 cc and 395 HP, but he was changed for wanting of the client.

Tail lights are 69-70 Grand Prix I thought there was an Oldsmobile also built that sort of looks like this?
