It's crazy to see the Bugs and the Ghias and how dated their body styles look in comparison to the 914's. The 914 look so much more modern of a car for that time period. What do you all think??

The only thing I thought is that they had to push them too (The Ghia).

I think this was a posed picture.
There was a long exposure to get the shot. If you look in the upper left, behind the 914s, you see ghost images of people moving around. Another is the old dude in the top right at the parts wall.

The photographer had the line workers in the for-ground hold a pose for at least a second while the film was exposed and the rest of the factory went about its work. Probably a flash was used as well, but it was still a long exposure.

They probably had to do several takes to get the one that was actually in focus.

Cool!

Great photo! Thanks for posting this for all to see. I still like the lines of the Karmann Ghia after all these years.

I always enjoyed the photo of the workers pushing the 914-6 bodies on the carts to the Porsche factory to be finished there. It is neat to see that this was the case for all those 914 bodies.
