Volkswagen Cabriolet - Mk1 (1979 to 1993)

The first generation of the Volkswagen Cabriolet, known as the Mk1 Cabriolet, was introduced for the 1979 model year. These sporty convertibles were powered by Volkswagen's inline 4 engines but built entirely at the Karmann factory. Drive from the engine powered the front wheels through a manual or automatic transmission. Production of the Volkswagen Mk1 Cabriolet lasted until 1993, skipping a generation before continuing life as the Volkswagen Cabriolet Mk3 for the 1995 model year.
