SERVICED, DETAILED, READY TO ENJOY! Without doubt, Volkswagens Type
1 "Beetle" was the most influential compact car to land on U.S.
soil after WW II. Rooted in Germany's KdF-Wagen, with the "KdF"
representing "Kraft durch Freude" or "Strength through Joy," the
Beetle was the product of early Project 12 experiments at Ferdinand
Porsches facilities, where engineers settled on a rear-engine
layout and simple platform chassis. Countless revisions yielded 30
distinct prototypes by 1935. Eventually, the Series 38 design
embodied the Beetle, much as we know it today. Produced from 1938
through 2003, the Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle was remarkably similar
in concept to Henry Ford's Model T an affordable "peoples car" of
attractive design, economical operation, and durable construction.
Swift development brought a succession of careful updates
throughout production and many derivative models. The Karmann-built
Cabriolet remains a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts,
imported to North America through 1979.Sporting festive Yellow over
Tan livery, this all-original 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet is a
fabulous example with under 24,382 miles from new. Powered by
Volkswagen's renowned 1600cc air-cooled 'flat 4' engine delivering

4-speed manual rear transaxle, this Cabriolet is exceptionally well
optioned with factory air conditioning, a period Panasonic AM/FM
radio, and factory heater. Factory shoulder belts enhance safety

highly equipped Cabriolet. Recently serviced, thoroughly reviewed,
