erm...this is a hebmuller not a karmann...


Always appreciate the input. Im learning new stuff every day and losing my eyesight at the same speed.

I wish someone would do a similar thread about Hebmuller. I guess their short production time means less history/documentation available. I try to contribute here at TS hoping it will be here forever for others to learn from. The available information today for these little cars is a million times better than before the internet, now anyone can be a pro if they have the time to read.

the location of the photo is the head offices of Porsche Konstruktionen GesmbH, headed by Dr Anton Piëch, at alpenstrasse salzburg.
maybe it's a badge for their import business - like a dealer badge.

The truck pulling them is a Mercedes Unimog 401/U25 "Frogeye" which was made by Westfalia

I didn't realize there was a dedicated Karmann production thread.

Here are a few photos from my gallery.

On the right is a stack of kabrio bodies, I first thought they were waiting to be shipped off to Karmann but looking closer seem to be completed bodies with stamped lids and all. Wondering if this is a facility storing spare bodies for wreck replacement?
