This 1957 Volkswagen Beetle sedan was acquired by the seller’s parents approximately 60 years ago and is finished in metallic blue over a gray interior. Power comes from an air-cooled 1.2-liter flat-four that is paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, and other equipment includes 15″ steel wheels with hubcaps, overrider bumpers, running boards, and a dual-outlet exhaust system. An oil change was carried out in July 2021.
The car is said to have been refinished in the current metallic blue approximately 15 years ago, reportedly due to fading paint, and the seller indicates that the fenders and the front lid likely have been replaced. Exterior features include an oval rear window, dual tailpipes, and bright-finished elements such as the driver-side mirror, trim, and bumpers with overriders. Paint chips are noted on the rear deck lid, and other flaws include wear on the roof, scratching on the driver-side rear fender, and corrosion on the chrome headlight bezels and the windshield-wiper arms.
Color-matching 15″ steel wheels wear chrome VW hubcaps and are mounted with 165/80 Nexen SB802 tires.
The interior features seating trimmed in gray with white piping and matching door panels. Equipment includes front vent windows, a glove compartment, crank-operated side windows, and gray salt-and-pepper carpeting.
A white two-spoke steering wheel exhibits wear and fronts a body-color steel dashboard that houses an 80-mph speedometer and a cork plug that covers an open hole. The five-digit odometer indicates 87k miles.
The air-cooled 1.2-liter flat-four features a single carburetor and sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. The engine oil was changed in July 2021.
The seller notes that the engine may have been replaced under his family’s ownership; stamping 2048361 is consistent with a Volkswagen Type 1 A-series engine built in September 1957. The car’s chassis number falls into an August 1956 build window.
Corrosion is noted on some underside surfaces.
The car is accompanied by spare parts, a car cover, and a removed Bendix Sapphire I push-button AM radio.
