The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a family of three overlapping sports car models that Volkswagen marketed as a 2+2 coupe from 1955 to 1975 and as a 2+2 convertible from 1957 to 1975, although German production ended one year before that in Brazil. The cars combined the floorpans and mechanicals of the Beetle or the Type 3 with styling by Italy's Carrozzeria Ghia and hand-built bodywork by the German coachbuilding house Karmann, and are designated the Type 14, the Type 34 and, in Brazil, the Type 145 TC. The 1955 Type 14 was just the second Volkswagen passenger car ever produced, after the Beetle. The Type 34, presented in 1961 on the Type 3 floorpan with its 1500cc powertrain, cost up to twice the price of a Beetle and ended production in 1969.
