Volkswagen Beetle
This very nice
1956 Beetle is in excellent running and driving condition. An older restoration
that shows very well, this is a wonderful example of a Series 1. One of the
things that I love about this car is that everything works as it should. Lights, wipers, horn, radio, heat, defrost, reserve
lever. It’s all there and it all works. I also love the
fact that it isn’t over done, there’s a bit of patina on the Steering wheel,
gearshift and emergency brake levers for instance. The interior is very nice,
with very little wear and the exterior paint is nearly flawless with the
biggest issue being a crack in the paint on the rear deck lid. I didn’t notice
it for an entire day after we had the car, so it certainly doesn’t stand out. The
undercarriage is in great shape. The pan was powder coated when it was restored
to a nice standard. Other than a small
amount of surface rust on a few of the non-structural parts, it is rust free. The car starts, runs, shifts, steers and stops very
well and is an absolute pleasure to drive. I’ve put over 100 miles on this little Beetle and it
has never missed a beat. The older gentleman that we purchased the car from
stated that he believed the motor to be original to the car. I also had a
friend who is fairly knowledgeable in early VW’s look at it. He thought that it
was more than likely the original engine. Of course we have no was to be sure, but the
speedometer reading of 75k is completely believable given the overall condition
of the car, especially parts that weren’t replaced when it was restored. Overall the 1953-57 Beetles are considered some of the
best built. With many hand crafted items, such as the rear deck lid and front
emblem, these are special cars.
If you have an older VW, Porsche, or special classic you would like to locate a new home for,
we specialize in marketing these cars. As you can see from our presentation we
do a proper job and have many satisfied clients.

into the cars and the presentation, please respect that and follow through
should you bid. Inspections are welcome, but must take place prior to the end of
auction. Feel free to call or email with any questions, 503-475-8078 Josh,

Giorgetto Giugiaro sells shares in legendary styling house to Audi
Sat, Jul 4 2015Giorgetto Giugiaro undoubtedly stands among the great automotive designers of the 20th century, having penned the original Volkswagen Golf and Delorean DMC-12, among countless others. However, the great stylist is now longer an employee or even an owner of the company that bears his name. According to Automotive News, Giugiaro and his son, Fabrizio, sold their remaining 9.9 percent of Italdesign Giugiaro to Audi on Sunday, June 28, and the two resigned from the business the following day. The news about this just came out, though. The exact reason that the two men left the company hasn't been made entirely clear. According to Automotive News, a statement said that Giorgetto Giugiaro went "to dedicate more time to his personal interests." Italdesign Giugiaro remains open and intends to keep growing, though, the same announcement asserts. After stints at Bertone and Ghia, Giugiaro founded Italdesign in 1968. He created some masterpieces there, including '70s wedges like Maserati Merak, Lotus Esprit, and much more. The 2000s weren't so kind and 90.1 percent of the company was sold to Volkswagen Group in 2010. Former Audi design boss Wolfgang Egger took over styling duties there in late 2013, but he only lasted for about a year, leaving in late 2014. Since the sale, Italdesign has continued to work, including with the Gea concept at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and the very mean-looking Parcour in 2013. Giugiaro's designs are still highly prized, as well. On September 5, Bonhams is auctioning the Maserati Boomerang concept by him and expects to get around $4 million for it. The gallery above offers a few more examples of his and Italdesign's concepts for VW Group over the years.
German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe
Fri, Apr 22 2016Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.

VW outsells GM in China for first time in 8 years
Fri, 26 Oct 2012In case you didn't know, Volkswagen is hell-bent on becoming the largest automaker in the world. The German carmaker has inched closer to that goal, having outsold General Motors in China last quarter for the first time in eight years.
Volkswagen's sales in China, its largest marker, increased by 21 percent last quarter to 704,991 units. Those numbers almost tripled GM's third-quarter growth, and were enough to beat out the American automaker's 664,765 sales. GM, however, still leads in year-to-date sales in China by a slim margin of around 77,000 units. The Asian nation also happens to be GM's largest market, and according to the report in Automotive News, China's car market may grow to be larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined in three years' time.
About the news his company was bested in China by VW last quarter, GM CEO Dan Akerson is quoted saying, "It's not whether you're the biggest car manufacturer. It's whether you want to be the most profitable." It should be noted of these figures that GM includes truck figures, yet excludes Hong Kong and Macau from its Chinese sales numbers, while VW does just the opposite. Through September of this year, Volkswagen had 5 of the 10 best selling vehicles in China. GM boasted three of the cars on that list.
