Vehicle Detail
1974 was the final year for the Ghia convertible, and only 1,558 were produced for '74. Volkswagen capitalized on the overwhelming popularity of the Beetle by following 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. It also enjoys strong appreciation among collectors. If a classic convertible is on your shortlist, this 1974 Karmann Ghia is worth a look.
