Presented 50 years ago at the 1976 Turin Motor Show, Ghia presented the Ford Corrida concept. It was based on the then-new first-generation Ford Fiesta, which was turned into a chunky little safety-orientated sports coupe. Features included gull-wing doors hinged in two segments and electrically operated flaps for the headlamps to provide optimal aerodynamic performance. The rear hatchback was split in half, with the top section opening upward, and a hinged lower section that could be locked in an open position to extend the carrying capacity.

Presented at the 17th Tokyo Motor Show in 1970, the Isuzu Bellett 1600 MX II was designed at Ghia by Tom Tjaarda. It was a prototype for a mid-engined sports car powered by Isuzu’s 1.6-litre DOHC engine. Isuzu chose not to put it into production, but Tjaarda recycled the styling and scaled it up for the De Tomaso Pantera.

Designed by Tom Tjaarda soon after he joined Ghia, the Serenissima Ghia GT was first presented on the Ghia stand at the 1968 Turin Auto Show. Scuderia Serenissima was a racing team funded by Giovanni Volpi, but his ambitions to move into road cars ended with the Ghia GT. Serenissima ("Most Serene") refers to one of the many names the city of Venice (home of the Volpi family) is known by.
