My first new car was a 1965 KG cabriolet. Loved that little beauty. My family outgrew it and I always vowed to own another. In 1990 I bought a beautiful red coupe from a retired nurse. I drove it from Tennessee to West Virginia, twice a year for ten years, (1400 miles round trip). Around 1997, I did a repaint, removing all the windows and replaced all the rubber, dropped in a 2100cc engine, www tires and a complete reupholstering including headliner and carpet. Around that time I bought a 1961 cabriolet junker and after three years of blood, sweat and tears it is a stunning beauty! Now, as I will soon celebrate my 85 birthday,I still say the KG is one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. Thanks for the video!

I rescued my 69 ghia from a crusher in Oakland when I was 19... then dropped a Porsche 911s motor in it... I’m 39 now and despite all of the hot rods and modern sports cars I’ve owned over the years, nothing has ever came close to the aesthetics styling beauty and raw visceral performance of my ghia! She has and always will remain, my first and greatest love! 😍

I fell in love with the Ghia when I was ten years old. When I saw the neighbor washing her Ghia on the front curb, I thought to myself, when I grow up, THAT'S the car I want. Of course, they were out of production by the time I was old enough to drive. But I never lost my love for the Ghia and would always be thrilled when I saw one on TV, in the movies, or - rarely - out on the street. Finally - FINALLY! - I took serious steps to find one 30+ years later. Hit the jackpot with a smokin' deal and have been SO HAPPY ever since!! Love, love, LOVE my Baby Ghia!! 1969 Coupe. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The secret: The engine was in the rear, hence, the weight was centered over the driving wheels. It would be years before front wheel drive cars became more common where the weight/traction ratio advantage was returned.

The body is an excellent condition no rust that I can See ..! , the interior is a little rough ( well not really ) what I mean is the interior would benefit if it were all restored…! and I don’t care for the color it is green…! But people have been telling me that green is a desirable color…! 😳. Anyhow I’m going to pick it up this weekend it will be my running around town car…! 👍🏻

nice video, but most of the slammed and hot-rodded Ghias are just fugly. Some customization's fine, but come on - it's a 50s car (some'd say a work of art), not a vacuum cleaner. why the high % of slammed Ghias in comparison to contemporary Porsches and Alfas?

When I select videos I look for cinematic videos most cinematic vidoes just happen to have modified cars. People with non modified cars don’t seem to have interest in doing cinematic videos. Most videos that have stock cars are either for sale videos or reviews that have shaky footage.

He’s a kid? It’s serious Italian styling 50|50 German engineering~ Ghia designed it, Chrysler never acted upon on it. Ghia designed automobiles as would be eventually be realized. it came. I own a 72 Ghia Its center torsion bar balance the fluid dynamical forces as it drops slowly its height increasing velocitiy. The topological surface of the seamless shell single styling carves through the air squeezing downward then out the most slippery pathway. Add up the sum of the formed eddy’s-square it, add it to the forward momentum a nice gain of 1/3.01415 quanta repeat. Supremum~|nfinum Continuum

Design wasn't stolen. Ghia designed it, marketed it to Chrysler and they passed. Then they went to VW, and they passed. Some luck and a push internally made it happen for VW. So, yeah, not quite historically, but yessir, sweet little rides.

The first thing you say about 'stolen from Chrysler' is offensive. Get your facts right, if you want to talk about design houses. Ghia (Italian Design House) did MANY body designs, NONE of them 'stolen'. Ghia is Ghia, not owned by VW, Chrysler, or ANY other. I am glad Ghia did this design for VW, and I've owned a VW Karmann Ghia for several dozen years. BUT, you need to be acutely aware of history, if you wish to hold the interest of viewers. I, (and I might say 'we') don't need any revisions to the lines ONLY Ghia has contributed to Coach Building in the automobile genera.
