A genuine German classic with the increasingly rare ragtop option,
this 1959 Volkswagen Beetle wears its black paint with understated
coolness. The iconic Bug profile sits low and tight to the ground,
giving it an aggressive attitude that separates it from typical
stock bugs. Those modern 17-inch wheels create a stunning visual
contrast against the vintage body lines, while 205/40ZR17 tires
fill the wheel wells perfectly. The ragtop allows for open-air
cruising while maintaining the unmistakable Beetle silhouette. This
VW combines authentic Wolfsburg DNA with carefully chosen
modifications that enhance its street presence.
The vibrant red vinyl interior jumps out with bold German sports
car energy when you open the doors. Those vintage bucket seats
offer the perfect balance of comfort and period authenticity, while
matching door panels with parchment inserts add visual depth to the
cabin. The modern JVC audio system doesn't try to hide its
contemporary technology, instead providing straightforward access
to AM/FM, CD, USB and auxiliary inputs. For those who appreciate
good sound, the subwoofer system delivers impressive audio punch
that you'll feel as much as hear. The original-style steering wheel
and simple gauge layout keep everything connected to the Beetle's
minimalist German roots.
Powering this Bug is a 1776cc four-cylinder engine with just 500
miles since rebuild. The dual single-barrel carburetors look
fantastic within the tidy engine compartment, creating a setup that
enhances the car's authentic German character. Running through a
precise 4-speed manual transmission, the drivetrain delivers that
unmistakable air-cooled soundtrack through long-tube headers and a
stinger-style single exhaust. The independent suspension setup at
all four corners carries the VW tradition of excellent handling,
while the lowered stance creates a planted feel that adds to the
car's visual impact. Drum brakes bring everything to a controlled
stop when needed.
