Two-tone Coupe, German movie "Yesterday Girl" (1966).

Red Cabrio northbound on Manhattan's 12th Avenue next to the Hudson River, movie "Alice's Restaurant" (1969). This is the southern extension of the West Side Highway. The red Splittie bus in the southbound lane is being driven by main character played by Arlo Guthrie. The tall apartment buildings in left background are on the western side of the Hudson River in Fort Lee, New Jersey.

The one on The Irrational looks just like mine. I can't believe they crashed it in the first episode. Surely he will get it back. It was displayed so prominently in Episode 1. It's like his trademark. A very cool trademark. Can't wait to get mine on the road soon.

I wanted to see Jessie Martin get out of it, but he was already out of it. Hasn't shown or mentioned since.

The one he drives looks like a 68. The first part of the chase / crash scene shows the ‘68 but the very last shot, where the car swings around and hits the transformer cabinet, well that’s suddenly a ‘70 Ghia with the larger tail lights and 70 only rear bumper.

^ Haha! I usually only skim through movies in YouTube on fast forward until there's a traffic or other car scene. If there's a VW or Porsche 356 I'll freeze the program and make a screen shot, then enhance/resize it in Photoshop.

Here are some more from other movies:
Light blue Ghia Coupe on Manhattan street, movie "Scarface" (1983).

Two-tone lowlight Ghia Coupe in right foreground, TV movie "Smash-up in Interstate 5" (1976), filmed in Southern California.

Ivory Karmann Ghia coupe parked in background, "Bullitt" (1968). San Francisco police detective Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen, in tan overcoat) has just parked his green Mustang Fastback and is in the small grocery store across the street from his apartment.

[Rome]

Blue '70/'71 Ghia Coupe (~ Pastel Blue, a '70 only color) parked in background, movie "For Pete's sake" (1974). Main characters played by Michael Sarrazin and Barbra Streisand are on the motorcycle. Filmed in Brooklyn, New York.

Green '69 (separate headrests?) Ghia Coupe parked. Ms. Streisand is running between the Ghia and the BMW 2002.

Composite shot of green Ghia Coupe, likely the same as seen above, behind main character Michael Sarrazin who's driving a taxi.

Green Ghia Coupe, likely once again the one seen in above photos, parked on traffic street.
