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.

expected to complete the transaction. Recently we have had a few cars sell and
then not have the individual follow through. We put a ton of time and effort
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,

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

European new car sales drop nearly 8% in first half of 2019
Thu, Jul 18 2019PARIS — European car sales dropped 7.9% in June, led by bigger declines for Nissan, Volvo and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), according to industry data published on Wednesday. Registrations fell to 1.49 million cars last month from 1.62 million a year earlier across the European Union and EFTA countries, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers said in a statement. Calendar effects resulted in two fewer sales days in most markets, accentuating the decline. Registrations for the first half closed 3.1% lower, ACEA said. For European carmakers, weakening demand at home compounds the pressure from a sharper contraction in China and emerging markets that may yet bring more profit warnings. NissanÂ’s aging model lineup contributed to a 26.6% June sales slump while Volvo Cars, owned by ChinaÂ’s Geely, saw deliveries tumble 21.7%. Registrations also fell 13.5% last month at FCA, 10.1% at BMW, 9.6% at Volkswagen Group and 8.2% for both Mercedes parent Daimler and FranceÂ’s PSA Group. The Peugeot makerÂ’s domestic rival Renault suffered less, posting a 3.9% decline. By the Numbers BMW Chrysler Fiat Nissan Volkswagen Volvo Peugeot Renault
VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
