When Volkswagen decided to diversify their product portfolio in the mid 1950s they did so with the help of Luigi Segre from
carrozzeria Ghia and hand built bodywork from
karosseriebauer Karmann. The result was a stylish coupe that used styling themes that Ghia had previously explored with Chrysler and Studebaker mated to the simple Beetle floorpan. It was a such a good looking car (for something from the 1950s) that even Virgil Exner claimed some credit for the design -- and it does look like a 5/8ths scale
Chrysler D'Elegance. Find this
