VW Beetle – 1953 | Beige | Oval Window | Classic Collector's Item

This 1953 VW Beetle is a true jewel of automotive history! One of Volkswagen's most iconic models, it 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 among collectors.

✅ 1.2-liter air-cooled 4-cylinder boxer engine – with 24 hp, simple, robust, and reliable.
✅ 4-speed manual transmission – with unsynchronized 1st gear, a characteristic of early models.
✅ Restored interior – respecting the original standards of the time.
✅ Original chassis and mechanics – preserved authenticity.
✅ Beige color – a classic hue that further enhances the model's vintage style.

🔹 History and curiosities about the model:
The VW Beetle, known as the Beetle or Fusca in other markets, was one of the most popular cars in history. 1953 marked a major design change: 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 the split and oval versions even more valuable.

With a 24 hp 1.2-liter engine, this model could reach around 100 km/h, an impressive feat for a compact car of the 1950s. Furthermore, 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!
