1948 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet: Although designed in the 1930s, the Beetle was only produced in significant numbers from 1945 on (mass production had been put on hold during the Second World War) when the model was
internally designated the Volkswagen Type 1, and marketed simply as the "Volkswagen". Later models were designated VW 1200, 1300, 1500, 1302 or 1303, the former three indicating engine displacement and the latter two being derived
from the type number and not indicative of engine capacity. The model became widely known in its home country as the Kafer (German for "beetle") and was later marketed as such in Germany, and as the Volkswagen Beetle in other
countries. The Beetle Cabriolet began production in 1949 by Karmann in Osnabruck. It was in 1948 that Wilhelm Karmann first bought a VW Beetle sedan and converted it into a four-seated convertible. After successfully presenting it
at VW in Wolfsburg, production started in 1949. After a number of stylistic and technical alterations made to the Karmann cabriolet, (corresponding to the many changes VW made to the Beetle throughout its history), the last of
331,847 cabriolets came off the conveyor belt on 10 January 1980.
There is no better time than summer to enjoy a little fuel-efficient Beetle with the top down. This beautiful Beetle has been in Texas since new and has seen just under 78k miles of highway. Unlike many of the VWs one may find online, this Beetle recently received a thorough restoration without going overboard. No one wants to put a "trailer queen" on the road and this little beauty won't stand for being left in a garage! Upon arrival to Monaco Luxury, this VW received a complete repaint in it's original red. The door jambs and trunk were included in the paint job because we just couldn't see placing the brand new spare and original tire tools in with some 42yr old paint. The entire underside was sprayed in black POR paint (rust preventative, not undercoating). The final exterior touch was brand new running boards and chrome bumpers. Any interior that was sub-par was replaced and these items included; carpet, door panels, sun visors, pedals, glovebox, and kick panels. A brand new black convertible boot was also purchased to make "going topless" look as fun as it sounds. Once the cosmetics were complete, we addressed some minor mechanical needs to shorten the new owner's Things-2-Do list. These items included a new exhaust (w/ new chrome tips), new battery, a brand new carburetor, and full inspection of the lights and fuses to ensure everything was working properly. Depending on how picky you are, there may be items you choose to tackle to further beautify this classic VW. But, after all, what fun is a car with no character and no need for a little TLC over the years? As you will see from the photos below, this is an exceptional classic Volkswagen that can be purchased for only $14,988!

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
