00:00We crossed the Atlantic just for a machine that was the favorite of Frank Sinaterra's co-founder Rat Pack and his friends, the Dual Gear by Hannes Strang and Sandra Brogel.
00:18Good afternoon.
00:26Hollywood of the late 50s and early 1960s.
00:30The Dual Company made its fortune in the Second World War by building a truck with two engines.
00:44That's where the name Dual comes from.
00:46He was referring to the fact that when the president of the company, after the war and having been treated very well with
00:59military contracts, decided to create a prestigious machine, he turned to the body shop Gia, which in Italy was known for its very slick bodywork with lots of chrome that pleased the American market.
01:10And here is the Dual Gear, a truly rare car.
01:25A car that was also expensive and required a very fast construction time because the cars, they just left America for Italy to be dressed with the bodywork, then went back to having the engine assembled, then back to the final finish.
01:39The New York Times wrote at the time, why don't we buy a Rolls-Royce while expecting your Dual Gear?
01:53Thank you very much again.
01:59Kareels.
02:02Keep the car clean when you pass.
02:05A car with lots of details.
02:06Nina Eichinger is the right name for the driver.
02:20Thank you very much.
02:27Lovely Karen, typically American Detro.
