1978 Volkswagen Beetle Champagne Edition Convertible For 1978, the standard Beetle was no longer available in the U.S., though Volkswagen did introduce an upscale, limited-edition Champagne Edition II, which was a Beetle Convertible equipped with burled elm trim on the dashboard, ermine upholstery, a quartz clock. It came with either metallic blue or metallic red exterior paint. Power for the Champagne Edition II was provided by an air-cooled, rear-mounted, fuel-injected four-cylinder engine that generated 58 horsepower. A four-speed manual transmission, dual braking system, four-wheel independent suspension, and flow-through ventilation system were also part of the package. This 2 Door convertible has a blue exterior, tan interior, and tan convertible top. Vehicle is powered by a 1600 CC fuel injected engine married to 4 Speed manual transmission. Great vehicle to run to the beach in or around town with the top down.
