1964 Karmann TC Development Drawings
It’s always been common for Karmann to continue refining the designs
of their client’s cars in search of new models to increase the model line.
In April 1964 they developed these T34 TC prototype drawings for
Volkswagen’s consideration. A new Karmann version of the T34 was
done to boost unexpected slow sales of the T34 Coupe. With a bigger,
more accessible hatch, Karmann believed more customers would prefer
this design. By September 1964 a full size prototype had been built but
it wasn’t shared with Volkswagen until November. They agreed to
introduce it at the September 1965 Frankfurt International Auto Show.
But without notice the project was cancelled as being too expensive.
