Brazil's own Karmann Ghia TC had serious design pedigree behind it: Ghia put the now-legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro on the project before he became a household name in car design.
The Karmann Ghia's shape began as a Chrysler d'Elegance show car design by Virgil Exner that Ghia had already built and then adapted to a Beetle chassis when the Chrysler deal fell through.
