January 17 The first Volkswagen Beetle to arrive in the United States, a 1948 model, is brought over to New York by Dutch businessman Ben Pon. Unable to interest dealers or importers in the Volkswagen, Pon sells the sample car to pay his travel expenses. Only two 1949 models will be sold in America that year, convincing Volkswagen chairman Heinrich Nordhoff that the car has no future in the U.S. This assumption could quite possibly be the biggest blunder in automotive history as the Beetle went on to be the longest running and most successful car of all time! This exceptional 1976 Volkswagen Super Beetle is finished in desirable and professionally applied Yosemite Yellow over well kept black interior with black convertible top, and has been nicely restored starting with a very solid original vehicle, and lovingly kept. It features a strong 1,600 cc 4 cylinder engine that has had the troublesome Fuel Injection set-up removed and replaced with a much more reliable traditional carburetor, 4 speed manual transmission with upgraded shifter, original steel wheels and covers with new tires, spare tire and jack, new convertible top with glass rear window, and more. The cosmetic AND mechanical condition of this lovely car are a testament to the care and attention to detail it has received over the years. Dedicated collectors and enthusiasts of these iconic cars will take quick notice of this special offering. Priced less then cost to complete, this Beetle is solid and high quality drivable example , please call us for more details or to arrange a personal inspection. Odometer currently reads 99,569 miles which is likely to be original mileage, however, due to age of vehicle, it is being sold as true mileage unknown.

As the stock market declines, more investors are looking to put their money into hard assets that they control, and make no mistake about it, there is a tremendous amount of money out there despite what the news is reporting. Like gold and silver, collector cars have worldwide appeal, and accelerate in value even as the stock market declines. In 1987, we saw the worst stock market decline since the Great Depression. In the next 12-24 months, however, the value of collector cars skyrocketed - many doubling and tripling in value. For example, a Jaguar E-Type convertible, then a $20,000 car, increased in price to $60,000-$80,000. Ferraris selling for $200,000 quickly became $1 million motorcars. Again in 1991, as the Gulf War raged on, we saw a recession at home. Once more, these cars saw an immediate increase in value, even as the market declined. Unlike the stock market, you control these assets, and they will NEVER be worth "nothing". Stocks will come and go but these tangible assets will always at least retain their value and most often will gain significantly. These investments can provide you with both the pride of ownership and the pleasure of showing and driving. Now is the time to buy these great assets - as the stock market continues to decline, these secure investments will continue to increase in value. Rare and sought after models like the one shown here will provide both years of enjoyment and a stable, if not profitable return. Put simply, the smart money is buying right now!
