When and How Will the World End Karmann VW Beetle ghia VW Bus
Volkswagen Karmann Ghia by Gunze
Between 1955 and 1979 Volkswagen designed a sports car called the Karmann Ghia. Over 445,000 of these cars were produces during those years but now collectors guess that there are fewer than 20,000 Karmann Ghias around the world. Of these fewer than 2,500 are convertibles, making the convertibles, if you can find them, really desired. On this page you will find a special section of Karmann Ghia convertibles for sale.
The Volkswagen Beetle was really popular in the 1950s but the need for a more stylish and elegant vehicle pushed the company to produce the Karmann Ghia.
The designers took an unused vehicle design made for Chrysler or Studebaker and changed it to fit a widened Volkswagen Beetle floorpan.

The Karmann Ghia was more expensive to produce then the VW Beetle because the body and nose of the Ghia was handcrafted. The panels were butt-welded and English Pewter was applied by hand. The process was both time consuming and expensive. Of course the car was sold for more and made for high-end buyers. 10,000 Karmann Ghias were sold in the first year making all the time and work involved worth the trouble.
