  The first car I bought was a lime green Karman Ghia – sweet car!

  It’s by no means a performance car, but it’s still one of the most beautiful cars ever built.

    My first car was a red ’71 Karmann Ghia. I loved it!!

    I believe it was Motor Trend that referred to the Kharman Ghia as “the slowest sports car ever produced.”

  Beautiful. On a 2010 visit to Paris I saw a silver one parked every day outside a restaurant near the Pont Louis Philippe. I kept going by there just to see it.

  A dear friend of mine was killed in one of these. I choke up whenever I see one.

  My brother had a ’69 Ghia back in high school – it was great except it wouldn’t go into reverse, so he and the passenger had to stick their feet out of the doors and push…ala Fred Flinstone…

  Well, since we are waxing nostalgic here:
  My first wife’s first college roommate was the daughter of the guy that designed the Karmann Ghia, or at least that was what the roomie claimed.
