**Specially Designed For The Adult Collector Authentic Replicas*

The VW Karmann Ghia are a family of three overlapping sports car models produced by Volkswagen,

marketed in 2+2 coupe (1955–1975) and 2+2 convertible (1957–1975) body styles, though German production

ended one year before that in Brazil. Internally designated the Type 14 (1955–1975), the Type 34 (1962–1969),

and the Type 145 TC (1972–1975; Brazil), the VW Karmann Ghia cars combined the floor pans and mechanicals of the

Type 1 / Beetle or Type 3 ‘ponton’ models with styling by Italy’s Carrozzeria Ghia, and hand-built bodywork by

German coachbuilding house VW Karmann Ghia. The 1955 Type 14 VW Karmann Ghia was just the second Volkswagen

passenger car ever produced, after the Beetle, and launched six years before the Type 3 notchbacks, fastbacks and Variants

(squarebacks). They were faster and more expensive than the Beetle, but very cramped in the back, despite their wider,

postwar and nearly slabsided body design. Two years later, in 1957, a convertible was added.

In 1961, the VW Karmann Ghia briefly lost its title of fastest Volkswagen, upon launch of the more powerful 1500cc

Type 3 models, but later that year, Volkswagen, Ghia, and Karmann presented an all new VW Karmann Ghia – Type 34,

using the Type 3’s floor pan and 1500cc powertrain. Made from 1962 to 1969, this had both new, more modern,

angular and roomier bodywork; and a new, more luxurious interior, making it substantially more expensive than all

other VW passenger cars. Additionally, the Type 34 was one of the world’s first cars with a power operated steel sunroof option.

The Type 34 VW Karmann Ghia thus became VW’s range-topper again – costing up to twice the price of a Beetle – while

the cheaper Type 14 remained in production. Only the latter offered a convertible.
