2019 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, 1964 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible
Every year, just before the Super Bowl and the Phoenix Open, Barrett-Jackson stages a huge auto auction at Westworld in Scottsdale, Arizona. Since it had been a few years since my previous visit, I ventured to Westworld, camera in hand. This is a 1964 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia convertible finished in red with a white interior. From Wikipedia, "Internally designated the Type 14, the Karmann Ghia combined the chassis and mechanicals of the Type 1 (Beetle) with styling by Italy's Carrozzeria Ghia and hand-built bodywork by German coachbuilding house, Karmann." This model did not get the respect of a car such as the Chevrolet Corvette but it had a much more attractive price. This one sold at auction for $19,800.
