POTD: Karmann Ghia (Type 14)

From 2022 07 10 Rothenburg and Wurzburg

Today's photo-of-the-day is from the streets of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany. Not only are the streets of this medieval town old and classic, the cars you might find parked there are, too. This is a Karmann Ghia. From the license plate, it looks to be a Type 14, produced in the 1950s and 1960s. If anyone can pin this one down more specifically than that, let me know. The city itself dates to 1170, but I seriously doubt the Karmann Ghia is anywhere near that old.

A helpful reader believes that "The wrap-around turn signal lenses mark it as much later, perhaps '69-'70."

Marcia Grau I had a '68 hardtop Kharmann Ghia and then a '70 convertible Ghia. But then I moved to Texas and between the rain and kids, had to give it up. The hardtop was the best.
