Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional
and beautifully restored and rust free example of this 1953
Volkswagen Beetle, extremely rare 1st year of the Oval window
design. Lowest production model year of the Oval window Beetle as
it was only produced for a few months as a true oval, earlier 1953
models (Zwitters) shared many features with the previous split
window models. It is powered by a 1131cc 25hp 4-cylinder engine
with a split-case 4-speed transaxle. Engine correctly adorned with
Solex 1-barrel carburetor, strap-over air-filter assembly, 6V
system big nut generator, round regulator, and flat-top
distributor. Engine # 1-691134 lines up perfectly for a Late
November build which corresponds to the chassis number of this car
#10571636. It was professionally restored to show quality with
stunning details and focus on using correct OEM parts. All glass
has 'Sekurit' logo and is optioned with Pop out Quarter
windows.Additional features of this model include Euro bumpers with
short guards, semaphore turn signals, heart taillights, rear Hella
stop lamp accessory, locking engine cover, rear H-pattern apron
with no exhaust cutouts, big-mouth flat-top fuel tank and five
two-tone original rims with OEM caps and wide white tires,
including spare. The interior has factory correct seating with Red
reproduction upholstery and tan square-weave carpet, correct early
oval dash and components, on-and-off ignition switch, push-button
start, speedometer, batwing steering wheel, under-dash dome, gauge
lamp switch, chrome pull ashtray door, under-dash cigar lighter
assembly, accessory dash clock and a Blaupunkt push-button radio.
Radio does not currently work but is hooked up with new speaker.
Certainly one of the finest examples available anywhere. The car
must be seen and driven to be fully appreciated - the engine is
extremely strong and responsive and sounds absolutely magnificent,
the 4 speed transmission shifts smoothly through the gears, it
brakes great and the engine temperature always remains cool! This
must be one of the finest existing example's available anywhere of
this extraordinarily collectible and highly desirable 1953
Volkswagen Beetle Oval Window 2 Door Sedan - a lovely Arizona state
example in rare turn-key ready daily appreciating, daily driving
and daily head-turning condition of an all time classic and
legendary VW Beetle!
