I don't see how it made this list of flops.

And this...
"...Derived from Virgil Exner Jr.’s Chrysler concepts built by Ghia in the 1950s, the design resembled Ghia’s Thomas Special and Volkswagen’s Karmann Ghia coupe."

I'm gonna throw the flag here. I would not say it's "derived" from this big tall thing at all. And the classic Ghia roof is on every Ghia design of that era. Yes, the P1800 rear quarter window has that same flip.
