                     1956 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. 

 

Please remember that if you bid and win the auction, you will be expected to complete the transaction. Recently we have had a few cars sell and then not have the individual follow through.

VW builds 250,000th Passat in Chattanooga in just two years

Sun, 26 May 2013

It hasn't been without incident or union organizing drive, but the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN has built its 250,000 Passat in just a little over two years. The Night Blue Passat TDI with black leather has come just two years and five weeks after the first customer car came off the line on April 18, 2011.
In the last year the plant operated at the 150,000-unit capacity that it was intended for, but the downturn in Passat sales and subsequent worker layoffs mean it will be a challenge to repeat the feat. The plant does have the world's largest solar park, though, and you can't take that away from them.
You'll find the official hand-clapping in the press release below.

Which car should win 2015 World Green Car of the Year?

Wed, Apr 1 2015

There were three finalists for the World Green Car of the Year announced about a month ago at the Geneva Motor Show: the BMW i8, the Mercedes-Benz S 500 Plug-In Hybrid and the Volkswagen Golf GTE. With the New York Auto Show upon us and the winner scheduled to be announced tomorrow, we thought it's high time to ask our readers which one should win. There were seven other vehicles named to the finalists list: the Hyundai x35/Tucson Fuel Cell, the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, the Audi A3 Sportback E-Tron, the BMW X5 xDrive40e, the Kia Soul EV, the Nissan e-NV200 and the Opel Adam 1.0 Direct Injection Turbo ecoFLEX Start. Would you have named one of these to the top three list instead? POLL 14386429 Green BMW Mercedes-Benz Volkswagen 2015 ny auto show world green car of the year vw golf gte

2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]

The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
