EDIT:  Pic removed, it's also above.

Am I fast or is you slow?   Post a stolen photo and get the spinning wheel for about 5 minutes.  Try again and it's two of the same photos here.   I hit CTL-F5 to clear cache, anything else I can do?

I thought this was a Corvair, but the belt line, the trunk length and tail lights indicate something else, but what?

The older I get the more I like the look and lines of the MGA. In the future, I wouldn't mind having either and MG TF or MGA in the garage.

Just drove one yesterday. Not a good car if you're taller than 5'8" or have thick legs or mid-section. The steering wheel is huge and severely restricts space between wheel and seat

This is a VW 1500 Type 34 Karmman Ghia based off of the VW type 3 1500 (squareback) , The original Type 14 Karmman Ghia  we usually think of is based off of the VW beetle 1200 & 1300.

Yeah, there are a few little known air cooled VW (essentially the same pan and drivetrain) variations:

The Notchback was also not sold in the US (this is a member of my local VW club):
