The interior features two-tone Gray and White pleated upholstery, Black floor coverings, White accessories and body-colored surfaces. The dash includes VDO gauges, along with the shift-pattern diagram, radio-delete panel, chrome trim and a passenger grab handle. Abundant brightwork adorns the Beetle, including the chrome front and rear bumpers, bright wheel covers, and chrome exhaust tips. Coker Classic whitewall tires provide road contact. A desirable 12-volt electrical upgrade enhances ease of operation.
