I would buy one today if they still made them. I had 2 in the 70’s, also 2 Combi’s and a Carmen Ghia. The perfect cars for the age of commuting to work and city parking.

Owned a couple of Beetles. But the two Squarebacks I owned were some of the most useful of all vehicles I’ve owned.

Karmann Ghia.

Karmann Coachworks of Germany built it. Ghia Studios of Italy designed the chassis.

My first car was a 1960 KG - before they slowed the turning radius and mushed the suspension.

Some KGs were actually rally roadsters in the 1950s, when sports cars were not also hot rods. I used to see some on the street with racing numbers when I was a boy.
