1957 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic SUN SHADE

1957 VOLKSWAGON BEETLE JUST OUT OF STORAGE IN NORTH CAROLINA, ORIGINAL SAN BERNADINO CA VEHICLE.

RARE L351 CORAL RED FINISH WITH LT GREY INTERIOR, CORRECT 36HP ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, MOTOR # 1795914 MATCHING FOR 1957. VERY RARE TO FIND ONE WITH IT'S BORN WITH DRIVE LINE.

RARE AM FM RADIO, WITH A NICE SMALL VASE. BOOKS IN THE GLOVE BOX.

WIDE WHITE FIRESTONE GUM DIPPED BIAS PLY TIRES, FRONT AND REAR SEAT BELTS VW STYLE WITH LOGO ON BUCKLE,

RARE SUN SHADE AND TURN SIGNAL OPTIONS. ALSO COMES WITH THE HARD TO FIND FACTORY TOOL KIT.

NO RUST EVER, FLOORS ARE EXCELLENT UNTOUCHED, THE INTERIOR IS VERY NICE, HEADLINER IS ALSO GOOD. THE SLIDER MECHS WORK PROPERLY.

NOTE IT HAS ONE SMALL IMPERFECTION ON THE DS REAR FENDER, SEE PIC, IT CAME IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH GARAGE DOOR WHEN IT WAS IN STORAGE. THIS COLOR IS A PAIN TO PHOTOGRAPH SO I TOOK TIME TO FIND SOME SHADE, YES I KNOW IT'S CALLED CAMBELLS TOMATO SOUP. YOU LIKE IT OR YOU DON'T JUST THAT SIMPLE.

THE ODOMETER SHOWS 5400 MILES, NO IDEA IF IT'S ORIGINAL WITCH I WOULD DOUBT, OR IF IT WAS RESTORED AND DRIVEN THAT MUCH. I DID NOT GET FULL HISTORY FROM 1957 FORWARD.

WE JUST ACQUIRED THIS FROM A VW COLLECTOR, IT HAS SAT SOME OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, WE SENT THROUGH IT AND DID A SAFETY INSPECTION.

ALL LIGHTS AND SIGNALS WORK PROPERLY, THE REAR LIGHTS ON THESE ARE UNIQUE DUE TO THE TURN SIGNAL OPTION. STILL 6 VOLTS WITH A GOOD BATTERY AND IT STARTS EASY WITH A PULL OF THE CHOKE. DASH LIGHTS AND SPEEDO OPERATE CORRECTLY.

IN LOW GEAR IT SEEMS TO BE A BIT NOISY, NOT SURE IF THAT IS NORMAL, BUT IT HAS NO EFFECT ON THE DRIVE, ALL OTHER GEARS ARE QUIET.

IT RUNS OUT GOOD. BRAKES ARE GOOD. THE FINISH IS VERY GOOD, ALL BADGES AND EMBLEMS ARE NICE, DASH AND SPEEDO ARE CLEAR AND IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. THE GLASS HAS ALL THE ORIGINAL VW IS AS WELL AS THE HEADLIGHTS.
