Here we have a nice 1955 VW Beetle for your driving pleasure. This was purchased by me in July 2011 in order to bring back my youth. I recently purchased a 2013 VW convertible limited 50's special edition so I feel it is time to let someone else enjoy this 1955. I've had a great deal of fun driving the '55 and it has been reliable. Here are the particulars; It has the original interior (Red German Vinyl) which has NO rips or tears, just the normal wear for its age. The same goes for the carpet. The headliner is a nice replacement. Original instruments function properly. The original steering wheel shows the normal wear. The body had been repainted several years prior to my ownership. Little if any rust. The car spent many years in CA and AZ. The hood (as seen in the pictures) has a slight wrinkle on the drivers side when it was improperly closed without real easing the latch. It does close and latch properly. The semaphores had worked properly until recently when I decided to unplug them as they need some minor tweaking to release properly. The regular turn signals will work properly both front and rear if the semaphores are reconnected. The bumpers have decent chrome for their age. Prior to my ownership, a newer engine and correct transmission (with synchromesh) was installed. The engine # is H5775270. As stated it runs very well. It has a 12 volt electrical system and upgraded disc brakes in the front. When the engine was installed they did not set it up with a heater function as it was used in a warm climate. The tires have many miles remaining on the tread. The original owners manual will be included. It has a clean Nebraska title and I will supply a "Bill of Sale" as well. I will attempt to answer any questions you may have. I can be reached at 402- 488-8826. This car will make a vintage VW enthusiast happy with its drivability and historical attributes. The car is located in Lincoln NE and any shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will assist in any way I can with the shipper. Your are welcome to inspect the car in person if you wish. I want to be as honest as possible in my description. This car is being sold without any warranty written or implied because of it vintage.

VW chair says component cost decrease keeps him confident of EV success

Tue, Mar 25 2014

Volkswagen AG is in the middle of implementing a comprehensive electric vehicle strategy, one that we've been documenting for a long time. The Group stands ready to offer dozens of plug-in vehicles in the coming years if it feels there is sufficient demand and believes that selling a million EVs in Germany by 2020 is reasonable. That would be a solid number, but remember that VW sold over 5,923,000 passenger cars around the world last year, and the group as a whole sold over 9.7 million. At the company's annual Media Conference and Investor Conference in Berlin recently, the chairman of the board of VW AG - surrounded by some decidedly non-green examples of the VW Group's vehicles (some absurd new Bugatti, for example) - took some time to put the company's EV plans into focus. The upshot is that Dr. Martin Winterkorn is still guiding his electromobility ship into new waters, saying that "many more [plug-in] models will follow." Winterkorn said there are three main reasons he is confident in the ability of VW (and Audi and Porsche, at the very least) to push EV sales upward. Batteries are getting better, he said, and if the ranges can be extended, then customers are happy. But the real secret lies in reducing component costs. He said (as translated): It is important to look at the cost of the components: the battery technology, the electric motor and the electric components. Whenever you go into volume production, you of course have economies of scale. In two to three years' time, if we are able to achieve the goals we are setting for ourselves with cost and reach sufficient volume, I do believe that we can achieve two to three percent [market share] within VW Group. So, hitting a million EVs by 2020 is reachable. With the e-Golf and the e-Up off to excellent sales starts, we're willing to be confident as well.
