Randy Carlson tells me about his Volkswagen Karmann Ghia “La Cucaracha” build. A tribute to the cars that were raced on the Mexican road rally race (La Carrera Panamericana). Not a period-correct build but a fun example that captures everything nicely. The car is covered with antique graphics from maps and matchbooks mimicking the cars that were on the La Carrera Panamericana race.
