1959 Volkswagen Beetle in Kenosha, Wisconsin

Vehicle Description

The Volkswagon Beetle, officially the Volkswagon Type 1, was designed in the mid 1930's but only produced in significant numbers after WWII. The original 1100cc air-cooled engine was rated at 25hp - good for about 62mph on the Autobahn! By 1954, an additional 2mm was added to the cylinder bore. This combined with a redesign of the crankshaft and helped the 1200cc mill produce 36 hp. The instrument panel was revised in 1958 in addition to modifications of the rear window to rectangular vs. oval. This 1959 Bug is a real charmer. The baby Blue/White vinyl combination is a classic. Everything is just right on the interior from the instrument cluster to the steering wheel and push-button radio. Crank down the windows and hit the beach in style!
