1973 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia by Colin Wood
How much for the 30th anniversary ND in the background? (And don't we all know what the answer always is...)
My first car was a 1958 Karmann-Ghia -- low headlights, individual chrome slats in the horn grills, little Cobra tailllights, and a 36-bhp 1200 with a single carb about the size of a demitasse cup. My dad bought it new, then his job changed and he needed something woth more space AND power to pull the Sierra foothills. But it ended up at my grandparents' house for the next dozen years or so, till I turned 16 and it became mine. I used to daydream about taking a can opener to the graceful C-pillars (and maybe something a little sturdier to the top above the windshield), but never did.
