Yesterday’s Volkswagen Karmann Ghia sold in big numbers but there were other attempts to rebody the Beetle in more stylish clothes, including this low-volume cabriolet from the Swiss coachbuilder Carrosserie Beutler, which I saw at Techno Classica Essen in 2013. Beutler also produced more practical conversions based on the Beetle such as pick-ups and vans.
