    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! 😍

    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 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 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.
