Vehicle description
This 1960 Volkswagen Beetle convertible is powered by a flat-4 engine mated to a manual transmission. Mechanical and assembly components were restored with extensive New Old Stock (NOS) Volkswagen parts, including correct factory Kamax bolts and hardware, a painted fuel tank, matching spare tire and wheel, and a restored factory jack in its holder. Additional equipment includes a correct four-tab hood, NOS German running boards, a factory convertible decklid with the rain tray in place and a Wolfsburg radio. The car is finished with NOS body trim rather than reproduction pieces. Interior materials include Honey Brown square-weave wool with cloth piping imported from Germany, and the property-correct stretch wool headliner fitted to factory specification. The convertible top was custom-stitched by a retired upholsterer known for concours work, built from scratch rather than an aftermarket kit. This Volkswagen has been shown at concours events.
