My 91 karmann clipper

Nice but all Cabriolets, and Golf Verts are Karmann.
There is nothing about Karmann that is "special" it was where they were designed and built.
They were built from the ground up as Cabriolets at the Karmann Coach works.

Read all about it at www.cabby-info.com
 

Looks nice and shiny, any more info about the car or just wanting to post up a picture.

Really the cabriolet should not have the VW badges on it as it's not built by them….

Not so, the car was commissioned by VW to be built to VWspecs, VW supplied all of the non-frame specific parts, and worked with Karmann (a VAG Plant) side by side. So it is a co-operative venture, funded by VW.

VW Karmann-Ghia's were made at the same plant off the design by Ghia hence (love that word) Karmann-Ghia.

Over here the Chevrolet's and other places had body's designed by the Fisher coach works, so they all had plaques on the door sills, Body by Fisher, but were still GM.

Karmann have been working along side various manufacturers for years as early as Porsche 356 in the 50’s and probably before that
