- Production notes
- External history supports the 1958 Plymouth Cabana as a single Ghia-constructed concept. John Samsen remains candidate because the source credits his initial rendering as inspiration rather than unequivocal sole authorship of the final Ghia body.
Engine & performance
- Specification notes
- The Cabana is reported to have been built without an engine or drivetrain. Production-car mechanical specifications must not be inherited.
