oh well, having a '74 vert is better than no ghia at all.

^^^ what are you talking about? IMHO your ghia has lines just as clean (if not cleaner) as 50% on this thread! Even "car people" would not be able to tell the difference between a 1974 ghia and a 1955 ghia if saw them.

Looks like there is a " reverser light" on each side, so perhaps that Ghia is one of those Driver's Education trainers with steering wheel and pedals on both sides. |
Know this is reaching back a little bit, but does anyone have any info on the rear mount antenna on this car?

Here is an antenna on the back of my car. Its been there for many years as evidence by my radio. I have seen
this same antenna on another lowlight but with 2 mounted on each rear fender! Kinda similar. Cheers.

The antenna on the Dutch car in the above black/white picture looks aftermarket, not VW installed.
That's how they did the "pimp my ride" back in the days 
Antenna's were not factory mounted on lowlights, since not every car came with a radio. Usually the VW dealers mounted the antenna's.
A little Dutch humor : in the black/ white picture the owner drove his car to the sea and tried to swap his Karmann Ghia for a Golf

I love the internet. I can now appreciate that joke without having to find someone who speaks Dutch!
