Brief History of the Karmann Ghia

The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 14—first introduced in Europe in 1955 and in the U.S. in 1956—quickly became one of VW’s most iconic models. Styled by Ghia Studios of Italy and hand-built by Karmann in Germany, it shared the reliable underpinnings of the Beetle while offering sleek, sporty looks. Over 450,000 were produced, including just 80,000 convertibles.

Although it wasn’t a full-blown sports car, the Ghia offered improved aerodynamics, a refined ride, and Italian-inspired aesthetics that still captivate collectors today.
