This 1953 Volkswagen Beetle is finished in metallic blue over patterned gray cloth upholstery and powered by a 1,131cc flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle.
Features include a wood-slat roof rack, an oval rear window, spotlights, Marchal driving lights, semaphore turn indicators, side-window visors, rear fender skirts, and painted steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and whitewall tires.
The 1,131cc flat-four utilizes a single carburetor with a black air cleaner and is paired with a four-speed manual transaxle.
The battery was replaced in preparation for sale.
The engine number prefix reads —1—, which is consistent with a pre-1955 flat-four.
The car was refinished in metallic blue and features an oval rear window, a wood-slat roof rack, chrome bumpers, rear fender skirts, rear splash guards, and a full-color Wolfsburg crest hood emblem.
The car is also equipped with Marchal driving lights, spotlights, Hella “heart” taillights, and semaphore turn indicators.
Burgundy-finished steel wheels feature black-painted outer lips as well as VW-stamped hubcaps, and they are mounted with whitewall tires.
A matching spare is housed in the front trunk.
The interior features herringbone-patterned gray cloth upholstery with gray piping, which extends from the seating surfaces to the door panels and rear trim panels.
A vase is affixed to the dashboard, the side windows have metal visors, and a VDO rearview mirror features an inset clock.
The steering lock was replaced in preparation for sale.
A two-spoke steering wheel with a gold Wolfsburg crest sits ahead a VDO 80-mph speedometer and a vertical Dehne fuel-level gauge.
The five-digit odometer shows approximately 91k miles.
