Background Story of this 1957 Volkswagen Beetle

Overview of 1957 Volkswagen Beetle For Sale by Owner

The Volkswagen Beetle, a car that left an indelible mark on countless lives and underwent over a thousand design changes during its production span, stands as a true legend within the automotive realm. Although initially commissioned by Adolf Hitler and crafted by Ferdinand Porsche to facilitate transportation for the German populace on the newly constructed autobahns, the profound impact of this unassuming and modest vehicle surpassed all expectations. Its global resonance is undeniable, with over twenty-one million units produced between 1938 and 2003. The Beetle's enduring legacy owes much to its straightforward design, contributing to the abundance of surviving examples in the present day. Yet, despite their prevalence, locating one for sale can prove a bit of a challenge, especially when seeking earlier models like this 1956 Volkswagen Beetle with its iconic oval rear window and near-original appearance. According to reports, the car underwent a thorough restoration by the current owner roughly a decade ago, which undoubtedly accounts for its remarkable and well-preserved condition.

Exterior and Interior

Around a decade ago, the 1956 Volkswagen Beetle received a meticulous restoration that involved the removal of its previous paint and a fresh application of its original black hue. This refurbishment has undoubtedly contributed to the car's impressive visual appeal, with its chrome accents gleaming and its classic whitewall tires adding to its charm. An eye-catching detail is the inclusion of turn signals positioned on the window sills in the vintage semaphore style, which appear to be fully operational. The front end of the Beetle greets you with its iconic bug-eyed appearance, exuding a friendly aura. Notably, an aftermarket horn has been mounted on the front bumper for a more assertive auditory presence. Adjacent to the horn, a solitary driving lamp complements the Beetle's characteristic headlamps by providing additional illumination when needed. Another distinctive touch is the blue-tinted front windshield shade, thoughtfully designed to shield occupants from the sun's rays during travel. At the rear, the smaller taillamp clusters characteristic of earlier models catch your attention, distinct from the more commonly known 'elephant-foot clusters' introduced in 1973. Stepping inside, the Beetle offers ample space for a family of four to journey comfortably. The interior boasts an attractive red color scheme adorned with white striping on the seats. While the range of amenities and instrumentation is modest, these features contribute to the nostalgic ambiance of the pre-digital era that the Beetle encapsulates. This unique blend of simplicity and analog character is precisely why the Beetle continues to capture the hearts of so many enthusiasts. In a world dominated by digital complexity, the Beetle offers a serene oasis of analog relaxation and timeless appeal.

Engine

Under the rear hatch of this 1956 Volkswagen Beetle resides a new engine, as informed by the current owner, and it aligns with the period-correct specifications. This air-cooled 4-cylinder boxer motor powerplant, boasting a modest displacement of 1192cc, exudes a characteristically friendly and recognizable sound. Its performance is channeled to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. While the Beetle may not claim the title of a high-speed marvel, it excels in delivering a unique driving experience that encapsulates its distinct charm. The combination of its distinctive engine note, tactile sensations, and driving dynamics contributes to what makes the Beetle an endearing and enjoyable vehicle to drive, even if it isn't aiming to break speed records.

You can find campers that can be towed behind your regular vehicle, as well as those which can be driven in their own right.

But what if you want something a bit more compact? Something easy to drive and park, something that won’t break the bank, something that won’t be a pain to turn around in case you need to? In that case, this 1989 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper from Lakewood is an ideal candidate. Based on the hugely popular Volkswagen T2 Transporter series, it’s no surprise that it makes for an excellent camper.

1959 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$114,999

Designed by the legendary Harley Earl, the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette heralded an era of American automotive greatness that continues today, eight generations and more than seventy years later. Introduced in 1953 as an all-American two-seat sports car, the C1 went through several developmental hurdles before maturing into the beautifully refined machine seen here. By 1959, the Corvette had already received its important 1958 facelift—adding quad headlamps, heavy chrome detailing, and factory-installed seatbelts—making models from this period especially desirable. This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette, finished in Roman Red with iconic White Coves and located in Florida, represents one of the finest ways to experience the facelifted C1 era. Subjected to a complete show-quality preservation showing under 100 miles since completion, it blends timeless Corvette heritage with tasteful upgrades that enhance drivability while keeping the car’s classic character intact.
