Honey never expires​

As long as honey is sealed and stored properly, it can last an eternity. This is because the combo of honey’s low water content, high acidity, and antibacterial properties keep it from spoiling. Maybe that’s why modern archaeologists have discovered pots of edible honey in ancient Egyptian tombs.

The VW Karmann Ghia was based on one of Virgil Exner's Chrysler concepts.
The Chrysler D'Elegance, designed by Exner and built by Italian coachbuilder Ghia, was a one-off concept car in 1952. Ghia was so impressed with the design that its chief, Luigi Segre, developed a scaled-down version for Volkswagen. The resulting VW Karmann Ghia was a successful and long-running production vehicle.
