1957 Vw Oval ( 37200 ) Actual Miles From New on 2040-cars
Waverly, Nebraska, United States
Offered for sale, again, is my low mile 37,200 1957 Oval beetle. I've added a completely rebuilt Judson supercharger giving this car much better road speed and 20 extra HP. If the car meets the reserve and the buyer wishes to have the engine put back to stock 36hp, I'll refund back $2000.00 from the purchase price and return the original parts to the engine. My car has been driven and has several small scratches and chips to the pain, nothing serious enough to stop it from winning best in class at numerous car events. The car has never had pans or channels replaced and as you can see from the pictures they are as good as it gets. Sits on new rubber with completely new German brakes. There's just to much to list regarding the car, so please ask questions and I'll return answers ASAP! The car was listed last week with it's one wheel trailer and that's been sold. The period luggage goes with the car, however the grille badges are not included in the sale. European buyers are responsible for making all shipping arrangements. I encourage an on sight inspection by a qualified 3rd party. I can be reached for appointment at 402-890-1747 . Thanks for taking a look. Thanks for looking On Jul-20-14 at 12:23:03 PDT, seller added the following information: Due to questions regarding the none clear pointer on the speedometer, I took a closer look and see it was replaced with a dated unit of 2-62 . I don't know the circumstances behind the change and can only assume the original became faulty at some point. I don't have service records showing a replacement. I therefore can only state the mileage to be correct from time of replacement. The cars overall condition reflects the mileage to be close to correct. If anyone doubts my integrity regarding this issue, please don't bid! On Jul-24-14 at 10:00:52 PDT, seller added the following information: Due to interest in purchasing the Supercharger and related parts, I've decided to remove the supercharger if the car doesn't meet the reserve. I will relist the car in pure stock form at a later date. Thanks to all for your interest. |

UAW Falls 87 Votes Short Of Major Victory In South
Sat, Feb 15 2014Just 87 votes at the Volkswagen plant in Tennessee separated the United Auto Workers union from what would have been its first successful organization of workers at a foreign automaker in the South. Instead of celebrating a potential watershed moment for labor politics in the region, UAW supporters were left crestfallen by the 712-626 vote against union representation in the election that ended Friday night. The result stunned many labor experts who expected a UAW win because Volkswagen tacitly endorsed the union and even allowed organizers into the Chattanooga factory to make sales pitches. The loss is a major setback for the UAW's effort to make inroads in the growing South, where foreign automakers have 14 assembly plants, eight built in the past decade, said Kristin Dziczek, director of the labor and industry group at the Center for Automotive Research, an industry think tank in Michigan. "If this was going to work anywhere, this is where it was going to work," she said of the Volkswagen vote. Organizing a Southern plant is so crucial to the union that UAW President Bob King told workers in a speech that the union has no long-term future without it. The loss means the union remains largely quarantined with the Detroit Three in the Midwest and Northeast. Many viewed VW as the union's best chance to gain a crucial foothold in the South because other automakers have not been as welcoming as Volkswagen. Labor interests make up half of the supervisory board at VW in Germany, and they questioned why the Chattanooga plant is the company's only major factory worldwide without formal worker representation. VW wanted a German-style "works council" in Chattanooga to give employees a say over working conditions. The company says U.S. law won't allow it without an independent union. In Chattanooga, the union faced stern opposition from Republican politicians who warned that a UAW victory would chase away other automakers who might come to the region. Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee was the most vocal opponent, saying that he was told that VW would soon announce plans to build a new SUV in Chattanooga if workers rejected the union. That was later denied by a VW executive, who said the union vote had no bearing on expansion decisions. Other state politicians threatened to cut off state incentives for the plant to expand if the union was approved.
Volkswagen names new chief designer for Bentley
Thu, Jun 4 2015The Volkswagen Group has named one of its own to head up the design department at its Bentley division. The role now falls to Stefan Sielaff, who has been with the group (off and on) since 1990. Sielaff is principally an interior designer, but has been tasked with setting up numerous overall design offices for Volkswagen and Audi over the years. In his new capacity he'll be reporting to the group's chief engineer Rolf Frech (and oddly not to Bentley chief Wolfgang Durheimer), but at the same time, Sielaff will retain his role as head of interior design for the entire VW group, reporting to its chief designer Walter de Silva. Sielaff replaces Luc Donckerwolke, who has headed up Bentley design since 2012 and is leaving the company. We'll be on the lookout to see where Donckerwolke lands next. Crewe/Wolfsburg, 04 June 2015 Stefan Sielaff to head design at the Bentley brand • Sielaff also responsible for Group Interior Design Strategy Stefan Sielaff (53), currently Head of the Volkswagen Design Center in Potsdam, will assume responsibility for design at the Bentley brand effective July 1, 2015 in addition to his present post as Head of Group Interior Design Strategy. As Director of Design at Bentley, Sielaff succeeds Luc Donckerwolke (49), who held this function since 2012. Stefan Sielaff joined the Volkswagen Group in 1990, beginning his career in the interior design department at Audi. From 1995 the design graduate was entrusted with setting up the Group's Design Center Europe in Spain. In 1997 he was placed in charge of the Design Studio in Munich and was appointed Head of Audi Interior Design in the same year. In 2003 Sielaff moved to DaimlerChrysler as Design Director of the Interior Competence Center, returning to the Volkswagen Group in 2006 to become Head of Audi Design before being appointed Head of the Volkswagen Design Center in Potsdam und Head of Group Interior Design Strategy in 2012. In his new function as Director of Design at Bentley, Sielaff reports to Rolf Frech, Board Member for Engineering. In his function as Head of Group Interior Design Strategy he continues to report to Walter de Silva, Head of Group Design. Luc Donckerwolke has decided to leave the company. De Silva said: "Luc Donckerwolke has played a key role in the design of various Group brands. We would like to thank him for his work."
