The first Golf Cabriolet was based on the Golf I platform and was followed by models based on the Golf III and Golf VI. All generations of the Golf Cabriolet were produced by Karmann in Osnabrück; it was a bestseller from the start and is now a highly sought-after classic. Although the prototype did not yet have a roll bar, the decision was made to install one due to American safety requirements. The Golf Cabriolet was thus the first open-top car with a fixed roll bar and was disparagingly nicknamed a "strawberry basket," but manufacturers such as Opel, Ford, and Peugeot eventually followed suit. Production of the first Golf Cabriolet continued even after the Golf I was replaced by the VW Golf II in August 1983. Finally, in 1993, the curtain fell on the most fun Golf Cabriolet ever. In 1992 and 1993, only special editions were delivered featuring, among other things, rugged fender flares, special colors, and upholstery. Upcoming this week in our auction is an original Dutch-delivered example that I have owned for 11 years and, naturally, has a valid NAP.
