1971 VOLKSWAGEN Typ 141 Karmann-Ghia 1600 Cabriolet

            The VW Typ 14 Karmann-Ghia cabriolet was based on the Typ 14 coupé which was developed early 1950s by coachwork company Wilhelm Karmann, Osnabrück (D.).
The VW Karmann-Ghia coupé was developed in cooperation with Volkswagen AG and Carrozzeria Ghia, Torino (It). It was styled by Luigi Segre (1919-1963), Felice Mario Boano (1903-1989), his son Gian Paolo Boano (1930), Sergio Coggiola (1928-1989) and Giovanni Savonuzzi (1911-1988). Inspiration was found in certain Chrysler creations from Virgil Exner (1909-1973).
The first prototype was ready in October 1953. After approval of VW the final coupé version was launched in July 1955.
For September 1957 Typ 14 cabriolet version was added.
Volkswagen made the floorpan, engine and gearbox. The body was completed at Karmann works in Osnabrück.

Private import, probably from the US.
These US-style bumper bars with  overriders were not standard in Europe but an additional option.
Note the US-spec all red tail lights (model year 1970-71).
