We took  Jill's Type 34 to the Motor Muster show at the Henry Ford 
Greenfield Village  this weekend.  Over 800 cars...all stock representing cars from 
1936 to  1976.  Needless to say she was the only Type 34 there.  There were  
about dozen VWs there.  

Anyway...here are some links to shots of  the Ghia at the  show...

We  talked with a ton of people about the car and got lots of compliments 
and lots  of "what is it?"s and other such comments.  We even participated in 
the  Pass & Review and she even stymied the announcers.   They didn't  have 
much to say about her ex ept that she was very rare and designed by the  
Ghia study in Italy.  At least that part they got right.  The rest  was pretty 
much wrong..."underneath the coachbuilt sheetmetal it is a Beetle",  
"successor to the Karmann Ghia", etc etc.  They really didn't know what  to say 
about her.

We had a great weekend.  Good weather, great  cars, and good car talk.





I just tell people it's a German Corvair. ;^)
