convertible is on your shortlist, this 1974 Karmann Ghia Custom is
worthy of a look, this Ghia cabriolet is ready for some fun in the
sun.Volkswagen capitalized on the overwhelming popularity of their
Beetle by following "the people's car" with a sporty sister: the
Karmann Ghia. Speed wasn't what the Karmann Ghia was about.
Instead, the KG's strong suit was style. Its voluptuous body was
penned by design powerhouse Ghia in Turin, Italy, and the coachwork
was hand built by renowned German firm Karmann. The public's
response to the car's introduction was so positive that production
doubled shortly thereafter and the Karmann Ghia quickly became one
of America's most imported vehicles. In all, nearly half a million
were manufactured during the car's nearly 20-year production
run.The Karmann Ghia's last year of production was 1974, at which
point it was replaced by the Volkswagen Rabbit in the U.S market.
But the car's lengthy production run, reliable underpinnings, and
striking styling ensure the Karmann Ghia can be recognized in
virtually every town in America. It also enjoys strong appreciation
amongst collectors.For more information on this fantastic 1974
