Brings back a flood of memories this one - my old girl may she rest gently in peace had one of these Dubya Karmann Ghia's - from memory the trunk is up front & a tight squeeze to get in the back seats

When I was at primary school, Bruce McDougal's Mum had a blue Karman Ghia.
Had no idea what is was back then, but us 2nd graders knew she was cool.
Or were we in 3rd grade?

built by Willi Karmann for VW with a bit of Roman Ghia work - loosely based on Doctor Ferdinand Porsche's 950 series sports coupes

Trying to make out what's in the back with the fold down table - kitchen unit of some kind?
Would eat in to the interior space.

I'de say that tray folds up and clips in and the whole unit folds sideways,so he can sleep in the back,I have seen this before!...

Just searched again and found out the pic was taken by Paul Hurtado in 1975 at Termiel Point NSW,just south of Ulladulla
