History: A unique "Karmann Hardtop" or "notchback" 356 B model was
produced in 1961 and 1962. The 1961 production run (T5) was
essentially a cabriolet body with the optional steel cabriolet
hardtop welded in place. The 1962 line (T6 production) was a very
different design in that the new T6 notchback coupe body did not
start life as a cabriolet, but with its own production design-In
essence, part cabriolet rear end design, part T6 coupe windshield
frame, unique hard top. Both years of these unique cars have taken
the name "Karmann notchback"
