its a Karmann Ghia!

a very nice one too. a high school friend of mine had one and we lived in the land of pick-up trucks & muscle cars, so it was especially cool. anyway. very slick.

Found two more today, each a couple blocks from my apartment on either side.

um, it seems really weird that CE would encounter THREE of the exact same type of (RARE) car within two days in montreal. is there a story behind this? are these canadian cars? is there a car convention going on in montreal?

Peter: 15th Sep 2007 - 14:28 GMT

ghias, just like about every other volkswagen model, were ubiquitous enough that its not surprising to see them around. ive seen a few this month in nyc, myself, but then again, im always keeping my eyes open for neat cars...

CE: 15th Sep 2007 - 17:26 GMT

The first picture was actually taken around the end of August but the second and third were each taken yesterday within hours of eachother. I was really surprised to see them because the Wikipedia article says there are so few of them.

I'm not really a car person so I'm generally not looking out for cars, I just took the first picture because I thought the car with the house and the lighting looked really good. Peter's enthusiasm caused me to take note of the car so I snapped the photos of the two I happened upon yesterday.

Folks might be getting in some last drives before they have to store them for the winter. Or the local Ghia club had a meeting that day.

I thought I spotted another one the other night in almost the same place as the last white one but after comparing the two pictures, I guess it's the same car but now has a large dent on the front fender.

They're Volkswagen Karmann Ghias, probabaly from the the 1960's.
