The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible is a classic convertible known for its timeless elegance and charm. It was a sporty two-door convertible produced by Volkswagen in collaboration with the renowned coachbuilder Karmann GmbH. The Karmann Ghia Convertible was introduced in 1957 and was based on the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupé introduced in 1955. The design of the Karmann Ghia Convertible was strongly influenced by the classic lines of the Karmann Coupé with a stylish and sporty look. The body of the Karmann Ghia Convertible was slim and streamlined, with rounded shapes and a low, elongated nose. It had a low-set windshield and a low roofline that ended in a fabric convertible top that could be folded down for open-top driving. The Karmann Ghia Convertible was often praised for its timeless design and is often considered one of the most beautiful convertibles. The interior of the Karmann Ghia Convertible was compact but stylish. It offered room for four people, but the rear seat was quite limited and was often used for luggage or extra storage space. The interior featured characteristic details such as a classically designed dashboard and round instruments. The Karmann Ghia Convertible was popular with car enthusiasts because of its unique and timeless design as well as its reliable performance.
