1960 VW Beetle Sedan Rare Canadian Standard Model For Sale
This is a rare one!
Very uncommon to come up for sale in the US, this is a very interesting and original 1960
Canadian Standard model
The European Standard models are something we have seen before here at Oldbug, but it is
super cool to see a special model marketed to our North American neighbors in Canada.
A low price, no frills model that was designed for the budget minded customer.
In Europe the Standard models were even more stripped down.
The Canadian market models at least got some chrome!
The color is Indigo Blue, and it is a mostly original paint car with only some minor touch ups noted
on the lower edges according to the owner and a respray of the left rear fender thanks to a small accident in 1992.
The car is currently located in Florida.
Simple and sweet
This vehicle was bought new by M. Banks at Morton Motors in Ottawa.
He drove it every summer (April to September) for 35 years.
In 1995 M. Banks sold the car back to the dealer Volkswagen Hull.
The dealer kept the car in the showroom for 5 years without even using it.
There was an agreement that the car couldn't be sold while M. Banks was alive.
The year after M. Banks passed away the dealer decided to sell the car since they wanted to make more room
to make seller offices since the business was going crazy because of the arrival of the New Beetle.
This is one of the best examples of an ORIGINAL Canadian Standard available today.
You'll be hard-pressed to find such a well documented, original car.
Included with the car will be:
• A birth certificate that shows it was made on leap year/leap day.
• A certificate from VW confirming the engine is original to the car (so is the transmission)
• The original owner's manual

You can eat off of the original 36hp engine, which has been rebuilt and the transmission doesn't whine.
Beautiful!
