Description

VW Beetle – 1953 | Beige | Oval Window | Classic Collector's Edition This 1953
Beetle is a true jewel of automotive history! One of Volkswagen's most iconic models, it already features the classic oval rear window (“Oval Window”), introduced in March 1953 as an evolution of the previous Split Window design, making it one of the most coveted models by collectors.

✅ 1.2 boxer engine, 4 cylinders, air-cooled – with 30 hp, simple, robust and reliable.
✅ 4-speed manual transmission – with non-synchronized 1st gear, a characteristic of the first models.
✅ Restored interior – respecting the original standards of the time.
✅ Original chassis and mechanics – authenticity preserved.
✅ Beige color – classic shade that further enhances the model’s vintage style.

🔹 History and curiosities of the model: The VW Beetle, known as Beetle or Fusca in other markets, was one of the most popular cars in history. The year 1953 marked a major change in design: the split rear window was replaced by the Oval Window, improving visibility and modernizing the model's appearance. This version was produced until 1957, making the transitional models between Split and Oval even more valuable.

With a 30 hp 1.2 engine, this model could reach around 100 km/h, an impressive feat for a compact car from the 1950s. In addition, the first Beetles were known for their high-quality finish, with chrome details and a well-designed interior.

A true classic, perfect for collectors and historic car enthusiasts!
