Vehicle Description
The Beetle was the brain child of Adolf Hitler who wanted to bring
a car to the masses of Germany for a fair price. Called the Peoples
car, Hitler commissioned Ferdinand Porsche in 1934 to design and
build it. It took almost four years for everyone to agree on and
finalise the end result.
The beetle became a huge success for VW and basically became the
"Peoples Car" of the entire world after WWII. In fact, this
one-design automobile was produced all the way until 2003 with more
than 21 Million Type 1's being sold. This surpassed the Model T by
Ford which held the record until the mid-1970's which is pretty
fascinating considering it was Ford that opted out of investing in
VW right after the war stating that the Beetle design was odd and
would never appeal to the masses....I guess he was wrong!
This particular little beauty we have here is offered in a gorgeous
color combination with perfect mechanics. This fantastic Type 1
starts, runs, brakes and drives perfectly with no smoke or leaks.
In the past two years new front and rear brake hoses, new engine
and trans mounts, lower ball joints, starter, muffler, wever carb
and wheel cylinders. Also a new Alpine stereo with remote and
speakers have been added as well as new tires and car cover.
