Volkswagen designed its 'people's car' before World War II, but production didn't begin until 1946. In 1953, VW turned to German coachbuilder Karmann to produce a convertible version of the Beetle. The convertible remained in production through 1979.
In 1962 Volkswagen's production reached 819,326 cars in Germany, plus a few in other factories around the world. It was 1965 when that number exceeded on million. The Cabriolet, sometimes Convertible, was the model #151 with the vast majority of the bodies built not by Volkswagen but by Karmann, well before they joined forces in a merger. Between 1958 and 1967 around 103,000 'Karmann Kabrioletts' - so said their domestic tag - were produced although there are few like this one.
This 1962 Pacific Blue VW has had only two owners. It underwent a 'body-off' restoration - the body bolts to a simple sheet steel floor pan, that serves as the chassis - to its original specifications using only all-German parts.
