Nearly 14 million vehicles were sold to Americans in 1993. Not a record, but certainly an excellent sales year. VW's share of the U.S. market DROPPED 34.7% in this one year, capping a twenty year history of relentlessly declining sales. Does the patient have any "blood" left?

VW Alphabet Revisited

The newsletter containing a VW alphabet an alphabet meant to be used in writing the obituary of Volkswagen in the States generated much interest and a lot of comments. After all, it is not every day you hold a funeral for a beloved friend who is still alive. But, the comments and feed back on the VW alphabet are kind of like trying to analyze the mood of a crowd gathered to watch a gruesome car wreck! From their faces, you can't tell if the crowd is sympathetic and compassionate; or if blood lust has seized them.
Well, from some people's comments, you know exactly where they stand. One fella commented, "I sure wouldn't want to get you P_ssed off at me, and then have you write my obituary." Lots of people wondered, "It's that bad!" And, yes folks, VW's future in the U.S. marketplace, is that "bad". One of my long held memories of VW stateside is the image of those two lonely Beetles sold to Americans in 1949. Do you realize at the rate things are going, two could be exactly the number of VW's.
All true! But, if I'm in the anger stage, of the grief process, I think Walt, and quite a few others, are, at least partially, in denial. VW in the States is hurting bad! Extinction of the dinosaurs can be blamed on giant astroids or sun-spot activity. But, Mother Nature is guiltless in this case. So, who do we blame! Consumers? Americans routinely buy 12 to 14 million vehicles a year. They buy hundreds of thousands of cars. whose's name they can't spell; produced by firms whose name they can't pronounce. No, I don't think you can blame the American consumer for VW's failures. Well, if it isn't consumers that leaves, in a market economy, the producer side of the equation or infestation by Tse-Tse flies. Unless, Tse-Tse flies wear suits, I think we'll have to put blame squarely on management's plate!
Still, many of you feel I didn't "fight fair" in the article. It's not the American way to kick a fella when he's down. VW, the "fight fair" crowd tended to believe, would welcome constructive criticism. O.K.! With the help of you, the readers, we'll come up with some positive "Save the firm" suggestions for next time. Send us those suggestions.

GHIA LOVERS LATE, LATE SHOW, MOVIE REVIEW

So I Married an Ax Murderer, a current (fall of '93) movie has the star driving a Ghia. Even more delicious! The commerical teaser released in an advertising campaign blitz just before the movie hit the theaters, features this same Ghia. Unfortunately Ax Murderer, released for Halloween, was too much of a turkey to make it to Thanksgiving. Expect to see it soon in a video store near you.

Carlito's Way, (fall of '93), Al Pachino's new movie is a showcase for his emoting skills. Al Pachino, in his career, has caused the on screen death of more people than a 13th century plague. Now, Clint, Sly, and Arnold would each have larger body counts to their credit; but they are merely movie stars. Pachino is an Actor. The difference? Al can kill dozens of people and make you think he doesn't like it! Sometimes, he has enough range to even make the audience think he's tormented by the mayhem he's created.

Judie Stout, a Ghia late, late show, movie spotter extraordinaire, has the ultimate movie spotter's story. She'd spotted her own car in a film. But, let's let her tell it. "My car club, the Jersey VW Club, found out about the call for 1965 to 1974 cars (to be) used for (a) movie that was filmed in New York City (in the spring of '93). I hope the street scenes using my '74 orange 'vert didn't end up on the cuttingroom floor. I believe my VW was the only one (of our club cars) used." Judie was really excited and, "I am writing to you a few days before the release of Al Pachino's new movie, Carlitos Way. I want to be the first to tell you about a Ghia sighting."

One week later, House of Ghia received the following letter:

"This is a follow-up to last week's letter regarding my orange '65 Ghia in the Al Pachino movie, Carlito's Way. The car was clearly visable in only one scene. One hour and 50 minutes into the movie, Al Pachino and Penelope Miller are in a cab leaving the DA's office, and you see the (Ghia) thru their cab's window. I think a small shot of the fender was seen earlier in the movie when Al is in a cafe in 'The Village'."

Well, Judie, I guess we can't all expect stardom the first time out. But, I predict good things will happen to your '74 'vert, if you keep showing up at the "cattle calls".

The Pick-up Artist (about 1987) stars Molly Ringwald and Robert Downey. One scene showed a green coupe parked on a street near Coney Island.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q #36 - (Gas flap release): The gas flap release mechanism is totally missing in my car (a '72 coupe) and I would like to reinstall this feature. Please advise me about the parts I would have to order.
Knok H Hong Kong

A #36 - Often I feel like a doctor making a trans-oceanic diagnosis of a sick patient. "The pain will go away, as soon as you stop sitting on a hot stove", or "I'm sorry to inform you, but your Ghia is dying of terminal rust and has only a year to live without breaking in half." That sort of thing! So, it pleases me very much, if, as a doctor/detective, I am able to help someone thousands of miles and nearly a dozen time zones away.

Typical '68-'74 Gas Flap System

To advise you on your gas flap mechanism, it will be helpful to know why parts of it were removed in the first place! One common reason for a fuel flap failure is because someone pried on, or forced, the gas flap and broke the very necessary cast-in catch (or tab) on the inside front edge of the flap. (See diagram.) If the catch is broken, the entire flap must be replaced.
Prying on the flap may also break the triangular tab, or flipper manipulated by the gas flap cable. If the flipper is broken, nothing can engage the lid catch. A broken flipper means the entire gas flap cable must be replaced. Used gas flaps are available.

Cross-section of Gas Flap

Shows the catch or tab
that is commonly broken----->

If the jerk who pried at your gas flap was particularly heavy handed, both the flap catch and the entire cable, with its broken "flipper", will need replacing. Used gas flap cables are very hard to find. So, order either, or both, of the two major gas flap components as needed.

Q #24 - (Hdlite buckets): New Ghia headlite buckets are expensive, so I cut a bucket out of a trashed Beetle fender. My friend, who has done body work before, and I are trying to install this Beetle headlite bucket in the tip of a '68 Ghia fender. The bucket doesn't seem to want to fit. Is there something we don't know about it that would help us install the Beetle bucket?
P.S.: The Ghia headlite adjusting stuff fits the Beetle bucket perfectly. The adjusting assembly even has a Ghia part number according to my bodyman.(David is talking about the "bucket" with tabs for holding the headlite adjusting assembly.)
David F New Castle PA

A #24 - Some things are perfectly obvious. A square peg won't go into a round hole. Other of life's mysteries are subtle in the extreme. It took me years to figure out why a much cheaper and vastly more available Beetle headlite bucket ('68 and up) won't fit a Ghia fender.

Look at the diagram of a Ghia "nose" on a Bug. The Ghia headlite is perfectly vertical, while the Bug headlite slopes with the fender. Most of us assume the completely vertical face of the edge of a Ghia bucket creates a true half circle shape. Which it does. And the entire bucket is a 3-dimensional version of a half moon. Which it is. Therefore, creating a Beetle bucket simply requires tipping a Ghia "half moon" bucket at a slight angle. Nope! The leading edge of a Beetle bucket can be thought of as an elipse. Still can't "see" why the two buckets are shaped differently? The following example is too gruesome for pre-puberty readers. Please exercise discretion in order to avoid nausea.
Imagine you are declared an enemy of the people by the leaders of the French Revolution. It's the guillotine for you. Let your imagination soar as the blade comes thundering straight down. Can't you almost "see" what the bloody stump of your neck looks like. Great! Your minds-eye is currently working overtime. Imagine the blade crashes downward at a 45 degree angle instead of straight down. The devastation is just as great, but the stub of a neck on your torso now looks like the slashed tip of a red magic marker, rather than the flat dullness of a well-used crayon.
The Ghia bucket is a simple geometric circle, the shape of the front edge is the equivalent of a carrot caught in a veg-o-matic or your neck severed by a vertical blade. David, the Beetle bucket is angled; and therefore, the leading edge creates an eliplical shape. An elipse is what gives the end of your neck that magic marker or lipstick tip shape. An elipse won't neatly fit a circle It becomes a square peg in a round hole type of puzzle.
For those readers who think, "What a cad!" because I use, and seemingly glory in presenting, the most gruesome example imaginable; please read the following. It is part of the Webster's Dictionary definition of the word, elipse.

O.K., who taught you the meaning of the exotic word elipse, fastest? Mister Webster? Or, Mister Guillotine?
The lesson is: "True understanding of complex concepts occurs only after a high degree of personal involvement."
Your second assumption also needs explaining. The Ghia part number on VW headlite adjusting assemblies merely means the assembly was first developed and put into service on Ghias (1964 1/2). Unfortunately, Asian and South American repro parts suppliers copied the Ghia part number; but stole the assembly's design from an adjusting assembly meant only for a Beetle. One crucial tab, needed for Ghia assemblies, but not needed for Bugs, was left off most current replacements. Try as hard as you will, only two of the three mounting tabs in the Ghias headlite bucket line-up with screw holes in most of the current repro adjusting assemblies. EVEN VW parts counters will sell you the wrong adjusting assembly and claim it fits a Ghia. So, be careful! Headlite assemblies whose part number seems to say, "I'm a Ghia goodie!" may not fit. House of Ghia manufactures a special tab that we install on the best of the repro headlite assemblies. That way, you can be sure the assemblies fit the bucket.

Q #54 - (Rear deck lock): I bought a used rear lock from (a competitor) for my '64 Ghia. It doesn't fit! It just won't bolt up, no matter what I do. Well, that (polite translation: "dweeb") at __________ keeps insisting I got a Ghia rear lock and it will fit. (Robert expresses a lot of anger in the remainder of his letter).
Robert A Rome GA

A #54 - All Ghia rear deck lid locks look nearly identical and certainly function in the same way; but there ARE differences.

Typical Rear Lock

Note: No mounting holes.

To rear

To front

It's hard for most of us to visualize which is front and back on a rear lock that's been removed from the car. So, with the lock in your hand, make sure the "thimble" or nipple, thru which the rear deck lid cable comes, is away from your body on the front, left of the lock. That's the way you'd see the lock if you looked into the engine compartment. Note the flaps, or tabs, or webbing with slotted mounting holes. Two tabs to the "front", left and right; and two tabs to the rear.

'56-'59 Rear Lock

Note: Mounting slots front and front
Dot represents mounting slot

On early Ghias, thru (I believe) 1959, these slots for the mounting bolts were at the forward edge of the front tabs. Oops! A problem. The right, forward bolt easily accepts a socket. But, the head for the left forward bolt is directly under the metal tube that acts as a rear deck lid cable housing. This rigid tube (1956-66) is welded in place. It can't be easily moved. All other rear lock mounting bolts can be accessed in milli-seconds by power tools. The left forward bolt is the odd ball. It can be installed, but only by a wrench. Not a good idea, even by Karmann's loose and easy definition of an assemblyline.

'60 - '67 Rear Lock

Note: Mounting slots front and rear

The factory's solution? Move the mounting slot to the rear of the forward tab. That way, the bolt head will at least be socket distance away from the interferring metal tube. But ever after, VW parts departments would need to carry two different locks. AND, since the mounting nut is caged on the back side of the rear lock apron, two distinct lock aprons. In 1968, a further change. The right forward mounting slot was moved rearward, so that both forward mounting bolts were again parallel. (From '60 thru '67, the front bolt holes were staggered.) Now, there are three separate rear locks, all differing only in the location of the attachment holes. However, with the scarcity of good used rear locks, you'd better think about re-drilling holes and making what you've got work, rather than hoping the "good parts fairy" will bless you with the museum correct item. "A bird in the hand."

'68-'74 Rear Lock

Note: Mounting slots rear and rear.

Folks, if you noticed, I just told Robert he'd won the argument, won the battle with the "dweeb"; but he'd lost the war. It's going to be that way on lots of increasingly rare Ghia parts. If every restorer insists on museum authentic parts at every possible spot on the car; most restorers will come up empty-handed. Compromise is the name of the game. And, your own wallet is your main adversary.

Q #19 - (Install door seals): I bought your door seal kit, KD-SDHP, months ago. Now that I want to install the seals, they look like a handful of black snakes. What goes where?
Pete M Boxton MA

A #19 - Out of the mess of snakes, find the two seals that are slightly over 5 feet long. They are the main door seals. Look at the blunt end. It will look like the cross-sectional diagram of a door seal. (See illustration)

<----Main Door Seal

Hinge Pillar Seal ------>>>>>^

At the other end, a uniformly shaped door seal tapers down to a "scrawny neck" and, the neck has a natural curve. To find the left hand seal (and the seals are side specific); make sure the tongue or sweep of the seal is pointed at you. If the curve of the scrawny neck seems to fit our diagram of the top back of the left hand door, you've got the correct seal. Of course, the opposite seal fits the RH door. Now, look at the top back edge of your door. See that hole about 1/2 the size of a pencil?.

Door Glass------>

Window Scraper Seal ------->
Scraper Chrome------>
Hole for Sponge Ball on Door Seal------->

Door Shell------->

Left Hand, Upper
Rear of Door

Squeeze the sponge ball of the long light grey seal into the hole. Presto, the end of the seal is captured and can't be "wiped" or rubbed off the car. The natural curve of the seal will instantly put the seal into the "corner" of the door where the outer skin meets the rest of the door shell. That junction is approximately a 90 degree angle. Think of the seal as a piece of wooden "quarter round" molding you're laying along the door/wall joint in your house. That's exactly the way this seal will fit up into the door's corner.

Cross-Section of Main Door Seal

...Sweep

The main door seal will run the full length of the bottom of the door, BUT will end at the front door seam. Two large "V"-shaped notches are designed into the seal. Inspite of what logic and common sense suggests, the notches are intended to line-up with the drain slots at the bottom of the door. With a "chunk" gone from the rubber, there's little danger the seal could do its sealing job so well, the drain slot could get plugged. I know! I know! There are THREE drain slots and only two notches. We'll just have to trust those German engineers.

Cross-Sectional View of Curving Neck of Door Seal

The other seal does not fit on the door. It fits on the pillar or post (hinge pillar) in front of the door. It is stationary and does not move when the door moves. Look closely at the seal. Imagine the rubber is super soft and warm. Visualize someone running their finger down the center of the seal. When the rubber cools down, there'd be a groove in the center of the seal. Have the grooved part face you. The "L" shape should be at the bottom of the seal. If the stubby bottom piece points to your left, it is the left hand hinge pillar seal (driver's side). Lay the seal on the portion of the door pillar closest to the inside of the car. The seal should cover up a few of the large heads for the hinge screws
I'd use 3M Trim Cement - black or yellow - or any other rubber cement style of automotive glue to hold the seal to the door metal.

A #53 - Ever see those commercials set on the German Autobahn where a black Mercedes is moving effortlessly at 250 plus kilometers per hour. The owner calmly explains to an astonished passenger, "We are150 of your miles from Berlin. We'll be there in about an hour." When this Grosser Mercedes (large "Merc" ) comes up behind another slower moving car in the fast lane say a Ferrari with a head cold the headlites blink. "Move over, slug" the lights say. That's what you found Alan, the "quick flash" headlite switch.

"quick flash"
feature

"Quick flash" was a characteristic of all Euro market Beetles/Ghias and was located as a small, tactile, bump on '61 thru '67 turn signal stalks. By the early '60's, VW discovered American drivers would laugh themselves sick if told their whimpy Ghia/Beetle had a switch signaling other drivers, "Move over, I'm coming thru!" So, American market '61 thru '65 Ghias used exactly the same turn signal stalk as Volksies hurtling down the Autobahn, but without the "quick flash" feature. It saved VW a few cents per car, but dealers had to stock two switches. Parts departments must have howled piteously because, when the part was redesigned for the '66 models, two separate, but related, switches were a thing of the past.

Turn Signal Stalk As It Looks To Driver

Look closely at the parts books. You'll see TWO silver-beige turn signal switches for the era. So, Alan, your Ghia undoubtedly came over from Germany as a gray, or black, market car. Or perhaps, it was purchased by a serviceman and brought "home" courtesy of Uncle Sam. The black '66-'67 turn signal switch doesn't easily retro fit; but it does have the "quick flash" feature. (See diagram) Even today, most European and Japanese car's have a quick flash mode on the turn signal stalk. The floor mounted headlite dimmer is supposed to work when the headlites are on. The "quickflash" will work even when the lite switch is turned off.

Since, until recently, only European autos share this "quick flash" feature, American drivers of those "furrin" cars in the early '50's made good use of it. After all, at that time, it was lonely being one of the few European autos sharing the road with those two ton, chrome bedazzled, Detroit behemoths. So, lonely pilots of Euro iron mutually signaled their delight at seeing another foreign car owner. "Quick flash" helped them share a road-found comradeship extinct in these more ill-tempered times. "Don't salute them! Shoot them!" seems to be today's motto. A "quick flash" device on current urban freeways is the muzzle blast of an assault rifle.

Q # 78 - (Owner's Manual): This letter is regarding my recent purchase of a full set of your seat covers. I immediately had them installed by an upholstery shop, and, while they certainly have a satisfactory appearance, there's a couple of things I'm concerned about. While flipping through my '71 Ghia owner's manual, I noticed that all the illustrations show a basketweave pattern for the front seats. Additionally, in your catalog, you mention that all of your seat covers come in the basketweave style. The covers I received are of the heat-sealed channel type; was this style also available as standard equipment with '71 Ghias?
George M Moscow ID

A # 78 - What I'm about to do is similar to killing Santa Claus or snatching Goldilocks bald. I'm about to take a long held, and cherished, belief and trample it. George, it's a heck of a world! If you can't trust your car's owner's manual, who can you trust? The '71 owner's manual you looked at led you to some false assumptions. Worse! If you happen to be a rabid restorer, this owner's manual any owner's manual outright lies.
LIE! That's a potent charge; but any owner's manual is to be trusted on questions or authenticity about as much as a politician's promise. Restorers of Detroit iron long ago learned this lesson. On Beetles, a wealth of information, then and now, exist. Photos taken at every conceivable angle abound for every year of Bug. In fact, more has been written about Beetles than about any other 20 automotive brands combined. AND, virtually all of the information is geared to answering the age-old lament of restorers, "What parts are right for my car." But, on Ghias? An informational drought. So, when a precious source of photos show up, photos that seem to say, "I'm the only year specific info on Ghias you'll ever run across!" the desire to accept this info as "gospel" is enormous.

Owner's Manual - This book can lie!

Why do owner's manuals lie on questions of originality? Because the owner's manual is published before that model year car is even stamped out of metal. Remember, even the first, say, '71 model year Ghia had that great owner's manual resting in the glove box. (Actually, it may have come by mail 3 weeks later.) Where do they get those neat illustrations and photos before the cars are even made? Why, they are often pictures of the previous model year vehicle the only car easily available for photographs. Sometimes proto-types were pressed into service as camera cars. However, if a feature didn't go into production, photos of proto-types would continue to trumpet an item that never made it to the assemblyline. The initial '56 proto-type Ghia sported a fender badge on the LEFT side. Four decades later, there is still confusion over the location of the badges. The cover of the '68 Ghia manual showed a circular flank reflector on the FRONT fender (much like Type II's of the era carried a red, round, rear reflector and an amber, round, front reflector) The feature never made it into production. Pictures of dashes, instruments and knobs, are often styling studio mock-ups, mock-ups that are nothing more than highly detailed clay.
And, while restorers view the owner's manual as a bible, as a statement of truth; the factory viewed the glove box book as a training manual. The factory had never heard of restorers with their passion for authenticity. So, photographs were liberally doctored to emphasize the point the factory was illustrating.
A black and white photo can be a visual jig-saw puzzle of shadows, greys, lite and dark. Out of that chaos, the factory wanted to emphasize say, one specific knob. So, using the magic of the dark room, and a retouch brush, the factory brought order. They achieved their instructional purpose by creating what the restoration crowd, twenty years later, would call a lie.

Photo is a fine training or
educational tool to show

number.

But, the engine number
shown, is not correct
for a 1971 Ghia

Additional inadvertent lies occur. Volkswagens changed so little over the years, the same photo was used year after year to illustrate the same point. Occasionally, VW kept the same picture long after it was a visual lie. Example: The photo used in the '71 owner's manual to illustrate the dip stick clearly shows an early 1600cc engine block with a motor number starting with a "B". Absolutely authentic for the first '70 model year cars. But, as purists will loudly tell you, '71 model cars used a dual port motor with engine numbers beginning with a two letter designation like AE. Oops!
To this point, I've merely taken a topic and hopelessly bored the average reader with detail. I'm about to be as obnoxious as a vampire arriving at the site of a road kill with his own straw. So, be forewarned. To those of you who don't want to know absolutely everything about '71 Ghia owner's manuals: "Abandon this reading why ye may!"
On a quick look thru a '71 owner's manual, the following glitches were noted. I do not intend these discrepancies to be an exhaustive list of this owner's manual's flaws; the purpose is to show that the owner's manual cannot be trusted for restoration or authenticity purposes.

Page 7 Two of the three photos of chassis numbers are of true '71 chassis. The dash pad photo is of a '70 chassis number. The engine number location shot again shows a '70 engine block number.

Page 9 The photo is of a '70 door with a lock rod. The doctored photo was only partially successful in removing the lock knob at the back of the door.

Page 11 Clearly the door is a '70 model with lock rod. ('71 and later doors didn't use a push/pull lock rod.)

Page 14 Note the correct use of a 1/10 of a mile indicator in the speedo. The dashes and instruments on page12, 19, 20, do not have this feature.

Page 18 The control lever for front footwell heating had migrated to floor level on '71 models. (Only '69 and '70 models used a lever/cable on the kick panel.)

Page 43 The engine depicted is a 1500cc, "H" engine. Correct only for '67-'69. All photos of rubber floor mats are "lies". Mats were last used on '70 models.

And, finally, George, the illustration you saw in the owner's manual as "basket weave" vinyl upholstery, was really a patterned cloth.
Postage stamp sized photographs can definately distort what your eye sees. To many, the highly patterned cloth fabric of the Euro Ghia seats, when photographically reduced to maybe 5% of the original size; made the fabric look like a diagram in the House of Ghia catalog called "basketweave" vinyl upholstery. George has a '71 Ghia which does NOT use a patterned "basketweave" vinyl seat. Yet, George could plainly see a basketweave-like pattern in the owner's manual pictures of the seats. The result was total confusion.
George's eye had been tricked by the illusion of scale into thinking the owner's manual photos were of a small, rather tight knit, basketweave pattern. The actual pattern is of a large, rather "loud", textured, cloth seat insert.
Individual Americans were never Wolfsburg's customers. VW, the Mother firm, never sold a car to the States. VW always sold vehicles exclusively to its franchisee, VW of A. (Volkswagen of America). Americans could never buy any vehicle or equipment Wolfsburg made, they could only purchase what VW of A had earlier agreed to buy from the factory. VW of A was the most tight-fisted customer imaginable. If it cost a few pennies more, VW of A wouldn't buy it. VW of America, starting about 1960, never bought, from the Mother firm, any seats covered in other than all vinyl.

But, Karmann made available cloth seats. Most European-market Ghias carried them. So, what you saw was a wild "houndstooth" or checkerboard patterned, cloth insert seat.

The Camera Reduces Reality
The lesson? Don't rely on owner's manual information as the final word on authenticity.

QWIK TIP 30: NOSE BADGES

Is the front nose on your Ghia dented? Bondo city? Trick question! I should have said, "Those few of you with a pristine nose on your Ghia need read no further." Because, this tip is for the vast majority of you, who realize your nose and its central rib will have to be rebuilt using the artistry of today's modern plastics. Why not consider using the porcelin Wolfsburg crest or badge from a Beetle front hood. A little creative "mud" work, a couple of new holes and you have a stylish, colorful, badge to replace the circular, drab, stock aluminum Ghia badge. Reminds some folks of a Porsche nose and badge. Quality Beetle front cloisonne (or porcelin) badges are available inexpensively from lots of repro Bug parts suppliers. It can't hurt to be creative on a Ghia that will never pass the "museum stock" test anyway!
