         It's a 1962 Ghia L6.4.  Made by the same company (Dual) that made 
the Dual-Ghia of 1956-58.
         Dual-Ghia is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-Ghia
         This is a Ghia L6.4:

         Very similar shape as the '56-68 cars.
         A pretty rare catch as only 26 were made.  Cost $13K back in '62 - 
3 times the price of a Corvette.
         This could have been the car you saw.  Same color.
