1962 Ghia Selene II

The Selene II was a dream car built by Carrozzeria Ghia in 1962 ad designed by Tom Tjaarda; it had a central driving seat and two rear seats facing backward.


The Selene II was shown in 1962, built by Carrozzeria Ghia. Tom Tjaarda designed it. It swapped the six-person layout for five people – one up front in a central position and four behind, as with the Selene I. It retained the cab-forward design. The styling followed the 1950s trend for fighter jet styling on cars. Ford would acquire Ghia in the 1970s. Wanting to raise some capital, the Selene II concept was sold off in 2002 for around $88,000.
