For Ghia, the possibilities for a city-coupe continued to beckon at the start of the 1980s. The result of this inspiration was the Ghia Shuttler of 1981. Based on a Fiesta platform, Shuttler was just 196 centimeters long. This two-door city-coupe was finished in metallic anthracite with bold orange accent stripes. Inside, a plush grey and brown cloth interior carried through the orange accent stripes from the vehicle’s exterior.
The wedge-shaped body shape by Ghia displayed a sporty demeanor and featured an advanced feature for the time – flush-mounted side glass – plus faired-in enclosures for the side mirrors. Rear air vents were placed to connect Shuttler’s tail lamps and its side accent stripe.
