The Volkswagen Beetle is an iconic car, having been sold around the
world for many years. This example of a 1959 Volkswagen Beetle has
been restored to like new condition and is presented in Arctic Blue
with a factory ragtop sunroof. The nineteen fifty-nine Beetle saw
minor changes which included the addition of an anti-sway bar,
stronger clutch springs, and a stronger reinforced frame. The car
rides on whitewall radial tires which are mounted on steel wheels
with VW wheel covers, including the spare. The interior is nicely
appointed in Terracotta vinyl with white piping, which contrasts
the body colored dash beautifully. Interior features include
seatbelts and an AM radio. Powering this Beetle is an upgraded
1600-cc dual port four-cylinder engine with 12-volt electronics.
The engine is painted to match the color of the body. The attention
to detail on this restoration is very impressive; it is reported as
being an "original rust-free California car" before the restoration
process. This Beetle would be a great addition to any collection.
