Here is a link to a Taiwanese company that makes beautiful roof racks for the Karmann Ghia. http://www.vintagespeed.com.tw/rack/ka-rack.html

I have seen this but do not have one for my KG, but thought it has a fabulous design. I assume it is equally functional.

Hope this helps.

No, you have to remember the Ghia is about 30cm wider than a Bug.

Agree with you, is too much money even the nice design.

I have one of his luggage racks on my Ghia, if the workmanship
is a good on the roof rack, then you will have a great looking rack.

Care to share a photo or a link of your luggage rack?
