1953 Cadillac Ghia versus 1991 Ford Ghia

Cadillac Ghia:

Ford Ghia:

Apparently, in Mexico, the Ford Tempo was called the Ford Topaz and the Mercury Topaz was called the Ford Ghia.  This is an outrage!

I thought the 1953 Ghia was made for Chrysler, not Cadillac.
In 1975 you could buy a Ford Granada Ghia or a Mercury Monarch Ghia in the U.S. It was the upscale model. Even worse you could buy a Mustang II Ghia. It even had a vinyl top

Actually the Ghia I remember most is my grandpa's Ford Del Rey Ghia:

In Australia, New Zealand and I think, the UK the Ghia badge was just the top trim level on any model. So we had Ford Fairmont Ghia, Ford Telstar Ghia, Ford Laser Ghia. Of course none of these models were American. All Australian and British Ford models.

@Andrew. Yeah, according to F1O, that's the case in Brazil too. Who knew? Did the Australian and New Zealand Ghia trim models actually have Ghia badges?
