1955 VW Deluxe Beetle For Sale
This Arizona based 55 Oval has been in the same family for over 57 years!
The car comes with some great documentation and paperwork through its history
as well as a birth certificate from VW and some other fun stuff.
The cosmetic restoration was done in the late 1990's but still shows very well.
In 2023 the rear apron was repaired and repainted.
The car shows well and is fitted with some nice upgrades and accessories.
Very solid and original body, the car has always been on the dry west coast.
Proper logos on much of the glass, window rubbers and body seals still look good.
Perhaps a few stone chips from use but nothing serious or requiring attention.
The car is a driver and not a trailer queen.
Nice radial tires on silver painted wheels
(full set of original steel wheels also included with the sale)
Nice fit and finish to everything
Wolfsburg crest
Arizona historic vehicle plates.
Massive accessory STOP light is hard to miss.
The car was a US delivery car originally and one of the first to get the US spec bullet turn signals
that normally are attributed to the 1956-57 models.
Original 4 tab hood
Really a nice car and obviously well kept since the restoration was completed.
Under the engine lid is a very welcome and wonderful surprise!
