  View original topic: Only one Karmann badge?

I just bought a 74 Ghia yesterday, and looking the car over at home I noticed that only the passenger side has the Karmann badge on the fender. I thought this was maybe just shoddy bodywork by a previous owner, but looking in the classifieds today, I saw that most cars were the same way. Why was this? Were the Beetle 'verts the same?

Only the right side has a badge. Don't ask why, Only Dr. Karmann knows the answer to that mystery.

I remember hearing once that most European cars are only badged on the right hand side.

My Beetle vert has the badge only on the right side. Can't think of why.

Thanks everybody, at least now I know I'm not the only one confused by this!
