1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle

Description

Ever since the Volkswagen Beetle arrived on American shores at the beginning of the 1950s, they were adored by their owners and would become one of the most iconic automotive designs of all time. Many improvements were made to the Beetle through the years. This gorgeous 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle represents splendidly the welcome changes made for the 1973 model year.

The major change for the 1973 Beetle involved a curved panoramic windshield for the Super Beetle that was 43 percent bigger than the old one. The Beetles also got a padded safety dash, improved ventilation with face-level vents, 5-mph bumpers, new front seats, huge "elephant foot" taillights, and brighter headlights. The rear engine cooling vents were designed with four stacks of louvers across the tail. These changes made for a safer and more comfortable driving experience.

Although Volkswagen produced a large number of these cars and many survive today, it is rare to see a 1973 Super Beetle restored to such a high standard as in this example. This VW is presents beautifully when first seen, however a close inspection reveals the true comprehensiveness of the restoration the car was treated to. The paint is glossy and deep, not just on the outside, but in the interior metal surfaces as well as the underside of the car. The bumpers, trim, brightwork and rubber pieces have been restored or replaced to look beautiful. The interior has been restored to correct original condition with the exception of an ungraded FYPLAY AM/FM/MP3, dual USB Bluetooth, Bluetooth, built-in microphone, USB/SD/AUX Port stereo.
