Final year of German production marks this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle
Convertible as part of the exclusive "Triple White" special
edition. Alpine White paint covers the iconic curves and rounded
fenders of this enduring classic, complemented by a crisp white
canvas convertible top with glass rear window. The distinctive
profile sits atop 15" wheels wrapped in 165SR15 tires, creating the
unmistakable stance that defined a generation. Chrome bumpers and
trim pieces add just the right amount of flash against the clean
white backdrop, completing the timeless exterior appearance of this
air-cooled legend.
White vinyl bucket seats define the clean, straightforward interior
aesthetic. The minimalist dashboard houses simple instrumentation
that gives all necessary information without excess complication.
An AM/FM cassette player provides soundtrack options while cruising
with the top down. Floor-mounted shifter puts all four gears within
easy reach. The door panels feature convenient pockets, and the
front seatbelts add a measure of safety to this vintage machine.
Every aspect of the cabin maintains the unfussy, functional design
philosophy that made these cars global icons.
The 1600 CC flat-four engine mounted in the rear employs electronic
fuel injection for improved reliability and performance over
earlier carbureted models. A 4-speed manual transmission delivers
power to the VW transaxle that drives the rear wheels. The
MacPherson strut front suspension works with the independent rear
suspension to provide controlled handling characteristics. Drum
brakes handle stopping duties, while manual steering delivers
direct road feedback. The rear-engine layout provides excellent
traction and the unique mechanical symphony that only an air-cooled
Volkswagen can produce.
