Ridgewood NJ, Saturday 8/31/2019: Ridgewood Fire Department “C” Shift extinguished an engine compartment fire without any injuries or extension into the passenger compartment! MMost of the car was saved but we are not sure it will make it to the Ridgewood car show .
The car appears to be a Karmann-Ghia .The first Karmann–Ghia was introduced in Europe in 1955 and arrived in America as a coupe in 1956. The convertible soon followed in 1958. It cost $300 to $400 more than the coupe, but was sportier to convertible-loving Americans, for whom it initially was built. The slick little car was sold through 1974. The car was made by Volkswagen .
