known as the Volkswagen Type 1, was originally constructed to be
the German transportation for the masses much in the same way that
Ford's Model T was for America in the early 20th century. Designed
by Ferdinand Porsche, the "Volks-wagen" or "people's car" had to
meet four requirements laid out by the German Government; it had to
be fuel efficient, carry two adults and two children comfortably,
be capable of 60mph and feature an air-cooled rear engine.
Eventually the sales trend of the imported Volkswagens caught the
eye of American automakers and resulted in the "Big Three"
producing their own compact cars. This would do little to change
that fact that the American Public was smitten with the "Bug."
Today the Volkswagen Beetle is a cultural icon and examples are
still enjoyed by collectors and enthusiasts across the globe. This
Beetle is stored in PA with clean title in owner's name. Car runs,
drives and shifts very well. Get ready for Summer fun with this
