under Dr. Ferdinand Porsche during the 1930s and officially known
as the Type 1 Sedan, Volkswagen's Beetle evolved from Porsche's
prewar KdF-Wagen design and returned to production almost
immediately after the return to peacetime in Europe at the urging
of British Major Ivan Hirst. Constructed with unwavering quality
standards and a succession of subtle, yet important, improvements,
the Beetle was imported to North America through 1979. Much like
Henry Ford's Model T, the Beetle was truly an affordable People's
Car and efficient mass production, worldwide exportation, and
unmistakable design made the tiny VW an instant motoring and
cultural icon. In many ways, the late 1950s and early 1960s were
perhaps the company's greatest. Its conquest of the North American
market, trendsetting advertising by the "Mad Men" at Madison
Avenue's Doyle, Dane, Bernbach, and worldwide distribution all
contributed to the Beetle's massive popularity that continues even
stronger today.Out of the Beetle's amazingly long production run,
the 1965 edition is particularly collectible and enjoyable with
many welcome updates including vastly improved visibility with 15
per cent more glass area than before, plus more comfortably
contoured seats and improved heating. Accompanied by certification
from Volkswagen's Stiftung Automuseum in Wolfsburg, Germany, this
truly rare unrestored and exceptionally original 1965 Volkswagen
Beetle is offered with just under 32,000 original miles at the time
of writing. Wonderfully preserved and presented, this Beetle
clearly benefits from storage in a climate-controlled environment
and as offered, it looks great in it's all original Panama Beige
paint with an exceptionally nice Grid Brown two-tone leatherette
interior, which includes an OEM AM radio. The matching numbers,
air-cooled 1,200cc flat 4-cylinder engine is paired with
Volkswagen's renowned 4-speed manual gearbox/rear transaxle for a
fun and economical classic driving experience. Offered with a
Volkswagen instruction manual and tool kit, this 1965 Volkswagen
Beetle Sedan is an outstanding, collector-grade example throughout.
