Volkswagen Käfer (Ovali)

Vehicle Description

This black VW Beetle is in very good condition. It has been restored and many parts have been replaced: It has new carpeting, new seats and door panels, and the sky and the sun visors are new. Many chrome parts have been renewed. The export beetle with its typical American bumpers displays some special features, such as two-tone door panels and a very neat roof rack.

Being a 1956 vintage, it already has some built-in improvements over the earlier model series, among them, for example, the slightly differently shaped fuel tank, allowing for a little more space underneath the front hood, or double exhaust pipes. Engine-wise, the indestructible 4-cylinder boxer with 22 kW (30 hp) performs its duty.

A recent Classic Data brief appraisal over € 22,500.- is available (condition. 2+).

This Beetle will be celebrating its 60th birthday next year. Are you coming to the party?

As early as 1945, mass production of the VW Beetle was commenced – the last one rolled off the line in 2003. The VW Beetle was produced over 20,000,000 times and had become a classic during its production period, enjoying a wide fan base right until today.
In early 2014, more than 10 percent of all registered classic cars in Germany were “creepy crawlies”, making it beyond any doubt the most popular classic car of all times.

Over the decades, the beetle has undergone numerous changes, the most obvious concerned the shape of the rear window. The two-piece oval rear window (“split”) was replaced in 1953 by a larger one-piece oval window. As of August 1957, this was replaced by a much wider rear window. Quite a few owners of older models had these “modern” windows installed subsequently, making the original singular-oval window variants more desirable and valuable today.
