- THE CAR OFFERED
Completed in June of 1959, per the Volkswagen Museum Identity Certificate, this rare Karmann-Ghia Coupe is a highly desirable "Low Light" model, featuring the pre-facelift front end design. Karmann-Ghia fans covet these cars as they best reflect the purity of the original Ghia design, with their low-set headlights and small intake "nostrils." Paired with minimal exterior trim, delicate bumpers, and plain dog-dish hub caps, it best highlights the inherent beauty of the Karmann-Ghia.
This fine example has been completely restored to its original specifications, with ownership history dating back to the mid-1990s. In 2010, it received its VW
Fahrzeug Identitats Urkunde
(Vehicle Identity Certificate) confirming the original specification and colors, along with a letter verifying the engine number corresponds to factory records. The interior is particularly appealing, with its tan-grey fabric and carpeting accented with a body-color dash and ivory controls. It is simplistic elegance at its finest. The paint is glossy and attractive; however, some bubbling is noted. Ahead of this for sale, the consignor had the brakes and carburetor serviced following an extended period of storage.
Karmann-Ghias are beloved by countless enthusiasts, and this wonderful example shows why the early Low Light style tops the list for beauty and desirability.
