This ground-up restored 1953 Volkswagen Beetle 11G with a sliding

　　ragtop is powered by a rebuilt 1.1-liter 25hp 4-cylinder engine

　　with a special air cleaner. Finished in Metallic Blue (a

　　9-month-only color), the exterior features wire-arm wipers, heart

　　taillights and ribbed semaphores. The original German cloth

　　upholstery interior features a dome light and ashtray trim. The

　　complete body was acid-dipped and the entire chassis and suspension

　　was powder-coated. The car comes with the complete Volkswagen tool

　　kit and car jack. This Beetle was built on June 2, 1953, and

　　shipped to a dealer in Kaiserslautern, Germany.
