Built on December 5, 1958, this charming Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet was delivered new to New Orleans. Acquired by the consignor in 2020, the car underwent a meticulous four-year restoration to achieve the exceptional presentation it enjoys today, showing just 304 miles at the time of cataloguing.

Finished in Bordeaux Red, a rare and elegant factory color from the 1950s, this Beetle retains its original matching-numbers chassis and engine, confirmed by its Volkswagen Birth Certificate. The interior is equally impressive, featuring a German striped cloth Streifenbraun upholstery, square-weave carpeting, and a beige tweed headliner, all adhering to original Volkswagen specifications. A black convertible top completes the sophisticated period-correct finish.

Powering this Beetle is its original 1,192 cc, 36 hp engine, rebuilt to factory specifications and paired with a fully restored drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The car also retains its factory 6V electrical system and Sapphire I radio. Accompanying the car is a tool kit, jack, and its Volkswagen Birth Certificate.

An enduring symbol of automotive ingenuity, the Volkswagen Beetle captivated the world with its charming design, unmatched reliability, and affordability. With its rich history, stunning restoration, and authentic details, this 1959 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet offers an extraordinary opportunity for collectors seeking a beautifully restored example of one of the world’s most iconic automobiles.
