1972 or 73 Karmann Ghia Type 14

Click on pictures to Z O O M in.

This car was photographed in April 2001 while walking to work. I believe it is a 1972 or 73 based on the lights and the bumper. This car was in very good condition.

In 1970 larger tail lights integrated the reverse lights and larger wrap-around turn signals in contrast to the earlier “bullet” style lights. VW models of this era have earned the slang nickname fat chicks[9]. Larger and wider taillights in 1972 increased side visibility. For the USA model only, NHTSA mandated 1973 modifications included larger energy-absorbing bumpers. Also, there was the provision of a package shelf in lieu of the modest rear seat.
