DFW Elite Auto Rental.com's 1970 Karmann-Ghia #1 With Dallas Brides
Black Convertible Ghia Combines German Engineering and Head-Turning Italian Design

/Wedding and Bridal News Articles/ - FORT WORTH, TX, April 28, 2007 - Some collaborations are classic. Broadway has classic music from Rogers and Hammerstein; Film has classic scenes with Bogart and Bacall; and the automotive world has the magical collaboration of German Coachmaker Karmann and Italian design firm Ghia that produced the now classic Karmann-Ghia.

A winning collaboration, the Karmann-Ghia, still has legions of fans among VW enthusiasts, vintage car collectors, and—apparently—among Dallas area brides.

"I reviewed our wedding rental orders over the last 12 months," says DFW Elite Auto Rental.com owner Ron Sturgeon. "The most frequently requested car for weddings last year was our black 1970 Karmann Ghia convertible."

"Those who know the history of the Karmann-Ghia know that it was initially produced by VW to attract style conscious consumers and to compete with cars like the Ford Thunderbird," says DFW Elite Auto Rental.com Operations Manger Kevin Bailey. "It's elegant, it's classic, it's fun, and it's definitely a car many couples can agree on."

"I really wasn't surprised to see our black Karmann-Ghia convertible at the top of the list of most popular wedding rentals because it is beautiful and provides such value," says Sturgeon.

"What really surprised me," says Sturgeon," was that our second most rented wedding vehicle was a Hummer H2." Sturgeon speculated that some Dallas weddings are such large affairs that departing in a Hummer is really the only choice. Other popular classic car wedding day rentals include DFW Elite Auto Rental.com's Strawberry 1955 Mercedes 300SC Convertible and Rally Red 1965 Chevy Corvette Convertible.

Sturgeon believes the Italian designers and German engineers who produced the Karmann Ghia were so successful because each side did the work for which they were best suited. "Our work," he says, "is matching special events with the absolute finest in elite automobiles."
