1958 Volkswagen Beetle

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this gorgeous 1958 Volkswagen Beetle. This Beetle left the factory on January 22 1958, finished as you see it today in code L240 Agave over K304 green/grey leatherette. It was acquired out of Texas by an employee of West Coast Classics, a highly regarded VW restoration shop in California and was reported to be a very original, rust free, nice car when found. WCC embarked on a nut-and-bolt restoration that was completed in 2010 -- it was stripped to a bare shell and repainted in the correct color, all rubber items were replaced, the seats, headliner and sunroof were reupholstered, the drivetrain was gone through, etc. Remarkably, it is reported that many trim pieces and even the door cards were so well preserved that they were retained. It was purchased by our collector client at a Pebble Beach auction in 2016.

1958 brought a number of changes to the long-running Beetle design -- it introduced larger front and rear windows, a redesigned dash and new stitching patterns in the interior. It retains the trafficators and fortunately this one was ordered with the desirable “ragtop” sunroof. This VW is correct in all the details -- down to the white wall Firestone tires, the rare Loria FM ashtray radio, original owners manual, jack and tools. It is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a four-page feature article in Volksworld magazine. This one checks all the right boxes for the discerning collector and is surely one of the finest Beetles available today.
