This Rare and Desirable 1957 Oval Window Beetle was manufactured in May of 1957 before the change over to the wider more traditional window in August 1957. This was the last year of the Wolfsburg edition with the rare emblem at the tip of the front bonnet, at this time this was a complex fabrication (subsequent models deleted the emblem). The factory Original Wolfsburg’s emblem is still attached and in Great condition. This was also the last year the rear “W” decklid was hand-fabricated and the front wing had a particular ‘flare out’. The steel used in the production of this year was at its best quality and has withheld the test of time. This is a Rare find with Numbers matching Chassis and Rear Axle. The 1961 engine runs. This project car can be a money maker to the right person with the time to spend revitalizing this rare beauty. § New Tires and Rims § Original Hub Caps § Factory Original Wolfsburg’s emblem still attached to original hood § Factory Original Steering Wheel and Shifter Knob § Dashboard is Straight and Un-Cut § Working Glove Box Door and Original Ashtray Option § Upgraded Porsche brake set-up § 4 speed manual transmission § Numbers matching Chassis and Rear Axle § Stainless Original Factory trim is in great condition and with the vehicle § Factory Original front turn signal housings and lenses and decklid handle are with the vehicle but not installed § All doors work properly and windows roll up and down smoothly § Factory Seats included but need re-upholstered § Wiper motor is in vehicle § Motor has brand new cap, points, plugs and wires § Notorious crack on drivers side hood near hinge has been welded and re-enforced with No Bondo repair § Rear package tray is solid § Front trunk apron is solid with little surface rust § Engine apron solid with little surface rust § Area around gas tank is solid The vehicle is in need of § Both floor pans § Seat back for backseat § Running boards § Front and back bumpers § Oval vent screens for front apron § Paint and Love For the age of the car there is very little rust.
