AL posted a '67 Karmann Ghia from Colorado Springs a while back. And a bumperless Karmann Ghia in the Bay Area.

1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia
From Jonathan Welsh in Montclair, N.J. "By the mid-1950s, U.S. sales of Volkswagen's Beetle were really cooking -- more than 30,000 in 1955. But the carmaker wanted a better-looking, stylish machine as a flagship model. They called Karmann, the German coachbuilding company that worked on Beetle convertibles at the time. Karmann called the Italian Carrozzeria Ghia for help. The shapely Karmann Ghia was the lovely result, built from 1955 to 1974. It certainly was nicer than the Chrysler-Maserati TC mashup of the late '80s."
