Sunday 21st July 1974
The last Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia was produced at the Wilhelm Karmann GmbH plant in Osnabruck, West Germany. Marketed in 2+2 coupe (1955–1974) and convertible (1957–1974) body styles by Volkswagen, the Karmann Ghia combined the chassis and mechanicals of the Type 1 (Beetle) with styling by Luigi Segre of the Italian carrozzeria Ghia and hand-built bodywork by the German coach-builder Karmann. American industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague included the Karmann Ghia in his list of the world’s most beautifully designed products
