1951 Volkswagen 1100 Beetle Sunroof Sedan

  • Chassis Number: 10264265
Volkswagen importation to the United States remained low during the early 1950s. For 1951, fewer than 600 examples (possibly fewer than 400) came to the US. The Beetle was a 2-door, 4 passenger sedan with a rear mounted engine. They were available in Standard or Deluxe trim levels. The horizontally opposed, overhead-valve, air-cooled, four-cylinder engine displaced 69 CID an offered 25 horsepower. Inside, the Beetle featured kick-panel vents while the windshield had chrome molding.

This particular split-window Beelte is a German-market example wearing standard trim. It has been given a comprehensive restoration and finished in dark blue which is believed to be its original color. It has a period-correct engine, a two-toned spare wheel, and VW-logo directional semaphores. There are simple white pinstripes on the beltline and bumpers, which were a European-market option.

The dash features twin, open glove boxes.
