Every one to their own though not for me, still, at $2500 🤓 it's a fair price

Don't forget that the Karmann Ghia was an adapted design that was originally intended for an american car company. Ghia designed them and Karmann built them.

Very cool looking car!

It sort of looks like the car in the Thunderbirds that Parker drove around.

Look up a web search on Ghia Aigle. See some nice old stuff there. I am lucky enough to be currently working on a Ghia Aigle Ferrari 195.

Ghia was an independent design company, like Bertone or Pininfarina. This car was just another of their designs, based on a Cadillac. Nothing whatever to do with 'Karmen' (you mean Karmann), and nothing to do with VW. Ghia is now 100% owned by Ford.

Yes it does look like the FAB-1 (the REAL one, not that Ford Thunderbird-based piece of crap from the live-action film).
