Description |

i purchased this 1973 karmann ghia coupe in 1989, n los angeles California; I am the second owner, he first owner having put approximately 63,000 miles on the Ghia.
thus a 25 year relationship between car and man flourished; this car is a family member, ith all of the requisite joys, isappointments, nd surprises any familial relationship affords.
I have travelled across America twice in Ghia; I have delighted in every single ride in Ghia, egardless of whether Ghia has, rom time to time, ot been able to get me all of the way home [ gas pedal cable break, hift cable snap, ut of gas, nd, ndeed, ust outside of Beaver, tah, uring BeaverFest [where grown men dress up as beavers], blown engine ].
Sometimes, hia was beat up at the playground [ the challenges to keeping a perfect Ghia 'nose' are not to be exaggerated ]; I have always taken care of Ghia [ most of the records of maintenance, epair, nd bodywork have been kept ]
interestingly, hia has been earning her keep in recent years; Cooper Classic Cars in New York has regularly 'hired' Ghia for a variety of print and film work, ncluding the J Crew Catalog, arget, nd countless fashion shoots -- true provenance !
The unique aspect of this particular Ghia is that it is extremely well maintained as well as being a driven vehicle; granted, ver since the purchase of a Volvo C30, have averaged a 10 mile trip about town once a month or so, his car is not locked away in some museum-like environment; it get outs, o see and be seen.
Every little thing, rom a faulty light, o the occasional mysterious noise, s lovingly fixed, r coddle, y Gene's Foreign Car Service in Broomall, ennsylvania, ronically, ene's is the best 'doctor' Ghia has ever had; no California repair shop can even come close to the expert maintenance offered at Gene's.
The fact is, t is time to allow this family member to fly the nest. I am not able to give over to Ghia the time it deserves to continue to see the world and be seen. I have given it one last spa treatment, verseen by Brent Morgan Motor Cars, n West Chester, A.
Ghia is absolutely glowing now. . .and I am ready to hand it over the lucky individual who will no doubt be celebrating Ghia's 50th year in 2023. With Ghia, ou will blink and the years will fly by.
