So I remember reading way back in the day, either in Car & Driver or Motor Trend (probably C&D, was more up their alley) an article about conspiracy theories regarding the automobile industry (obviously in a car mag). Anyways, they were saying that the Andrea Doria was intentionally sunk because Chrysler had some to secret prototype or show cars being shipping from Ghia (yes, as in Karmann Ghia) in Italy which were going to revolutionize American car design or at least shoot Chrysler way ahead (why they could recreate them since I assume they had drawings and study models, I don't know....). They were destined, well, headed, that's too final of a work, to one of the major auto shows, and since they didn't arrive, well, the revolution never happened.
