What is your favourite car of all time?


1959 Karmann Cabriolet


Cabriolets produced after July 1957 used a much larger back window than the earlier models, (still made of glass) and horizontal rather than vertical louvres on the engine lid. Until 1951, semaphore indicators on cabriolets were fitted to the front quarter panels, but when ventilation flaps were fitted that year, the semaphore arms were relocated. From August 1960 these were replaced altogether by the more modern front quarter panel, the badge, as on all pre-1961 cars is rectangular and reads "Karmann Kabriolet".
