                     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.

VW Golf R pre-order sells out in less than 11 hours

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Volkswagen fans had to be pretty quick if they wanted to ensure their pre-order for one of the first 500 units of the 2015 Golf R to enter the US. The German brand opened the books online at at 12:01 AM EST, and according to company spokesperson Leigh Anne Sessions speaking to Autoblog, by around 10:30 AM EST all of them were snapped up. VW's pre-order page currently shows these vehicles as no longer available, and the company confirms the news on Twitter, as well. There's still a chance to get an early Golf R by signing up for the waiting list and hoping one of the 500 orders falls through. VW Customer Care will contact people if there's an opening. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. This entire allotment of the Golf R comes in Lapiz Blue Metallic paint with VW's adaptive damper system, navigation, a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox and more. To further sweeten the pot, the company is also giving these folks a watch, key chain and certificate with their vehicle's VIN. The 500 models were priced at $39,090, plus $820 destination and delivery, but only $500 was required to reserve one online. The amount was refundable if a person backed out.

VW readying two-row CUV concept for Detroit

Wed, Dec 10 2014

We're likely getting yet another glimpse of Volkswagen's future crossover at the upcoming 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, in January. According to Automotive News, two anonymous sources within the automaker indicate a CUV concept will be shown there. The concept is said to be a five-passenger preview of the brand's future seven-seat model. Previous versions of the crossover have carried the name CrossBlue (pictured above), but there was no indication whether or not that would continue. The original three-row concept debuted at the 2013 auto show in Detroit, and VW followed it up with the CrossBlue Coupe Concept in Shanghai later that year. In early 2014, the company announced the CUV would go into production sometime in 2016, along with plans to invest $7 billion in North America over the next five years. During the summer, the automaker made things even more official when it declared plans to invest $900 million to build a 538,000-square-foot expansion into its Chattanooga, TN, factory to assemble the new model. Production of the crossover was slated to begin by the end of 2016, at the time. According to Automotive News, even more changes in VW's CUV lineup are on the way. The Tiguan is reportedly getting an update next year that could be joined by coupe and long-wheelbase variants, as well.

Italian investigators search Lambo headquarters in VW probe

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Italian investigators searched Lamborghini headquarters on Oct. 15 to look for evidence of managers' involvement in Volkswagen's emissions cheating. VW's main office in Verona was also inspected, according to Reuters. Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen, and Lambo in turn is listed as the owner of VW Group Italia. Authorities wanted to find out if employees were conscious that the vehicles were skirting emissions rules. "It is one thing if I sell water and pretend it's wine, but if I sell water believing it is wine it's different." Verona chief prosecutor Mario Giulio Schinaia said to Reuters. Italian newspaper Gazetta del Sud reported that several managers in Italy were under investigation for alleged fraud. Prosecutors in Germany have also been rigorously investigating VW, and they recently staged a similar raid on the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. The automaker reportedly turned over documents and other data relating to the software defeat device. Meanwhile, VW's internal investigation has turned up little wrongdoing, though a recent leak suggested otherwise, and at least 30 managers could have known about the defeat device. The automaker has disputed that figure. Volkswagen of America CEO Michael Horn testified before Congress that he believed only a few individuals were involved. The situation hasn't been easy on VW in the US, either. The Department of Justice has also been pursuing an investigation into the automaker. Plus, state attorneys general are filing lawsuits against the company for defrauding customers. VW has until Nov. 20 to explain a repair for the problem to the California Air Resources Board.
