1970 Karmann Ghia Convertible
- FORT WORTH, TX, April 28, 2007 - Some collaborations are classic. Broadway has classic music from
Rogers and Hammerstein; Film has classic scenes with
Bogart and
Bacall; and the automotive world has the magical collaboration of German Coachmaker
Karmann and Italian design firm
Ghia that produced the now classic
Karmann-Ghia.
A winning collaboration, the
Karmann-Ghia, still has legions of fans among
VW enthusiasts, vintage car collectors, and—apparently—among Dallas area brides.
"I reviewed our wedding rental orders over the last 12 months," says
DFW Elite Auto Rental.com owner
Ron Sturgeon. "The most frequently requested car for weddings last year was our black
1970 Karmann Ghia convertible."
"Those who know the
history of the Karmann-Ghia know that it was initially produced by
VW to attract style conscious consumers and to compete with cars like the Ford Thunderbird," says
DFW Elite Auto Rental.com Operations Manger Kevin Bailey. "It's elegant, it's classic, it's fun, and it's definitely a car many couples can agree on."
"I really wasn't surprised to see our black
Karmann-Ghia convertible at the top of the list of most popular wedding rentals because it is beautiful and provides such value," says Sturgeon.
"What really surprised me," says
Sturgeon," was that our second most rented wedding vehicle was a
Hummer H2."
Sturgeon speculated that some
Dallas weddings are such large affairs that departing in a Hummer is really the only choice. Other popular classic car wedding day rentals include DFW Elite Auto Rental.com's Strawberry
1955 Mercedes 300SC Convertible and
Rally Red 1965 Chevy Corvette Convertible.
Sturgeon believes the Italian designers and German engineers who produced the
Karmann Ghia were so successful because each side did the work for which they were best suited. "Our work," he says, "is matching special events with the absolute finest in
elite automobiles."
