1957 Classic Vw Beetle Deluxe Model, Oval Window, Rare Yanase Import on 2040-cars
Minot, North Dakota, United States
|
This Auction is for a "Matching Numbers" 1957 Volkswagen Beetle Sedan - Deluxe Model. Imported to Japan by Yanase Automobile Co Ltd. during the Korean War, and obviously was shipped by an owner back to the States. If you want a reliable everyday driver with a Classic look, or a great specimen to start your full restoration, this is the fine car. Car rolls true, with only minor repairs and little significant body rust. Rusted Floor-pan needs replacing (passenger rear). Recently, I was mentioning to a friend that I planned to repaint it the original Black and about to begin ordering a new interior for it when a friend said "Don't paint it; you'll ruin this great patina!" Maybe you are like my friend and want to throw a pair of used red front seats in and call the restoration complete! I told him I would see if anyone wants it the way it is now. I guess he's right, it did take over 50 years to get to look like this...it does look pretty Sweet the way it sits! P.S. I can speak/meet with your Transporter to arrange pick-up.

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
2015 Volkswagen GTI [w/video]
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 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.
Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish
Wed, 10 Jul 2013A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.
