Yes that shell was bound for Karmann. My point is that VW supplied roofless shells for the coach builders.


For sure, the roof was not installed.. made no sence in times of small suply on metal , cost to make it, cost to install it, and cost to cut it of, and scrap it again. And indeed, that body hanging in the factory at Wob is for Karmann.
