[T3] What means Karmann Ghia?

They got several things wrong in the video.  Ghia was a design studio in
Italy that was responsible for the styling of the Type 14 Ghia and the Type
34 Ghia along with lots of other cars.  The Type 14, Type 34, and the Beetle
Convertibles had the bodies built and vehicles final assembled at Karmann
Coachworks in Osnabruck, Germany.

Karmann also built some of the more specialised, smaller production quantity
vehicles.  Our 1999 Golf 3 Variant (Wagon/Estate) was made in the Karmann
factory near Rheine, Germany, after the Golf Mk 3 line closed at Wolfsburg
in 1997.   The last VIN letter just before the serial number is a K for
Karmann.
