1972 Volkswagen Beetle

Perhaps one of the most endeared cars ever produced was the VW Beetle. Volkswagen literally rose from the ashes of WWII with the Volkswagen Type 1 or Beetle. The Beetle was different, simple, reliable and fun. These core elements would prove to be important as the VW beetle would eventually become to be the most mass-produced car of all time; surpassing the Model T in 1972 with car number 15,007, 034 and by 1973 production of the beetle surpassed 16 million units. More amazing than the production numbers, is that the Beetle never became boring. Through Volkswagen's commitment to quality, the Beetle kept evolving and improving over time. The introduction of the Super Beetle in the early 70's demonstrated that fact as VW deviated from their tried-and-true torsion bar front suspension replacing it with a coil over strut suspension improving usable space under the bonnet, creating a longer wheelbase and improving overall suspension and handling.

The example offered here appears to be solid and shows well for its age. Highlights include a neat and tidy blue interior, owner's manual, shiny chrome and a Sony CD player. The car runs and handles very well.

The Volkswagen Beetle is an automotive icon and respected in all circles. With readily available parts simplicity of design, they are easy classics to own and enjoy. The car offered here in this desirable color combination, will surely pass enjoyment on to the next owner.
