Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia Lowligh Coupé

The Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia 'Lowlight Coupé' made a monumental impression in the mid-1950s. Its elegant Italian design, based on the Beetle, stunned onlookers. Karmann and Ghia collaborated to craft the 'Type 14' prototype in 1953, captivating Volkswagen Management and sparking production in 1955.

This masterpiece melds reliable Beetle technology with sophisticated Italian craftsmanship. Enhanced handling via a front anti-roll bar, widened front space, and a sculpted dashboard accentuate the driving experience. With 362,601 cars produced over 19 years, the early 'Lowlight' models, notably from 1956-1959, are cherished for their design purity and distinct headlight placement.

Our 1956 model, originally in California, reached Europe in 2010, embodying a pampered life and a rust-free body. Undergoing a meticulous rebuild, restored to its original Pelican Red hue and '55-style gray interior, this Karmann-Ghia drives flawlessly. Ready for winding roads, this beauty promises hours of driving pleasure.
