corrected for karmann ghia

Wilhelm Karmann GmbH in Osnabrück, Germany is an independent company in the motor vehicle industry. Over the course of more than a century, they have undertaken various roles, from design to production and assembly of components, for various well-known manufacturers of automobiles including Chrysler, Porsche, and Volkswagen.

Some well-known cars produced by Karmann in Osnabrück in the 20th century are the VW Beetle cabriolet (1949-1980), a total of 331,874 vehicles, and, most closely associated with the Karmann name, the Karmann Ghia. Between 1955 and 1974, 443,482 Karmann Ghias were manufactured by Karmann, placing their own sports-car-style body on the chassis of the Volkswagen Beetle. Later in the 20th century, they assembled the Scirocco, Corrado, and Cabriolet for Volkswagen. As the original company was Karmann Coachworks, a coach builder, Volkswagen models built by Karmann show a small wagon wheel as an extra emblem. Karmann also built the Ford Sierra for the American market, sold under the Merkur name, Merkur being German for Mercury.

Karmann is best known today for its work on cabriolets. It provides roof-components for many of the cabriolets we see on our streets today, such as the Mercedes-Benz CLK, the Renault Mégane CC and the Volkswagen New Beetle Cabrio. Both the headquarters in Osnabrück and the additional facility in Rheine also construct complete vehicles, such as both of the Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet / Cabrio, the Audi A4 Cabrio, both of the Mercedes-Benz CLK and Chysler Crossfire Coupe/Convertible. A small number of vehicles is produced in Brazil São Bernardo

Other facilities at Sunderland/UK Nissan Micra CC, Puebla/Mexico New Beetle Convertible and Plymouth/US Pontiac G6 are manufacturing roof systems just in sequence close to the customer.

A large part of the development of the Chrysler Crossfire was done independently by Karmann, and the vehicle is produced by Karman in Osnabrück. Karmann will supply the retractable hardtop on the Pontiac G6 as well as the convertible top for the next-generation Chrysler Sebring convertible.
