Volkswagen Beetle Typ1 Cabriolet 1972
General description :
Model historie en beschrijving:
Als hobbyproject werd deze Volkswagen Kever Cabriolet door een monteur, werkzaam bij een VW dealer, geheel gerestaureerd. Gelukkig niet bedrijfsmatig want dan was het betreffende bedrijf failliet gegaan of had het op z'n minst veel geld verloren. De tijd en onderdelen die in dit project gestoken zijn komen natuurlijk nooit overeen met de huidige koopprijs van deze bijzonder fraaie Kever. Doe er uw voordeel mee. Werkelijk alles ging een aantal jaren terug door de vakkundige handen van de man die uit liefde en vrijetijdsbesteding deze Kever weer nieuw opbouwde. De basis was een hard en roestvrij chassis overigens. Al het plaatwerk is ook nu nog hard, roestvrij en mooi strak. Geen (beginnend) roestplekje op te vinden, deuren licht en perfect symmetrisch sluitend, nieuw cabriodak en geweldig spuitwerk zonder ook maar één stofje. Smaakvol in two-tone gespoten, ook het dak in ton-sur-ton combinatie. Het interieur is eveneens vernieuwd of origineel waar het nog mooi was. Wist u dat er totaal 23,4 miljoen Kevers ooit gebouwd zijn, zo mooi als deze zijn er in ieder geval 23,3 miljoen minder, dat is zeker. Laat de foto's spreken en kom vervolgens langs als u net zo enthousiast bent als toen wij de auto vonden. Kevers zijn leuk!

About Volkswagen
The Volkswagen story is indeed an intriguing tale of innovation, resilience, and post-war revival, marked by various models that have become iconic in automotive history.The People's Car (Volkswagen): Initially envisioned by Adolf Hitler in the 1930s as a "people's car" or "Volkswagen" in German, the idea was to create an affordable and practical vehicle for the German people. This concept led to the development of the Volkswagen Beetle (or the Type 1), designed by Ferdinand Porsche.
Post-War Challenges: After World War II, Volkswagen faced significant challenges. The factory was heavily damaged, and the brand's association with the Nazi regime led to a lack of interest in the car in some regions.
British Intervention - The British Army & Ivan Hirst: The British Army took control of the factory in the immediate post-war period. Major Ivan Hirst, a British Army officer, played a crucial role in reviving Volkswagen. He recognized the potential of the Beetle and advocated for its production, convincing the British military to order several thousand cars. This decision helped jumpstart the brand's revival.
Export Success and the Beetle's Global Appeal: The Beetle gained popularity not only in Germany but also globally, becoming an icon of affordable motoring. Its simple, reliable design and unique appearance made it a favorite among consumers worldwide.
Model Evolution: Over the years, Volkswagen introduced various models alongside the Beetle, each contributing to the brand's growth:
Type 2 (VW Bus or Transporter): Introduced in the 1950s, it became an iconic symbol of the hippie movement in the 1960s, loved for its spaciousness and versatility.
Golf (Rabbit in the U.S.): Launched in the mid-1970s, the Golf (or Rabbit in the U.S.) marked a shift towards front-wheel-drive, modern design, and hatchback practicality, becoming a cornerstone of the brand's success.
Passat, Jetta, and Other Models: Volkswagen expanded its lineup with models like the Passat and Jetta, catering to different market segments.
Challenges and Innovations: Despite success, Volkswagen faced challenges, including quality issues in the 1970s. However, the brand continued to innovate and develop new models and technologies.
Rise of the GTI and Global Expansion: The 1980s saw the rise of the iconic Golf GTI, a high-performance version that sparked the hot hatch trend. Volkswagen also expanded its global presence during this period.
The British intervention in reviving Volkswagen after World War II played a pivotal role in the brand's resurgence. While there might have been some tensions or competition among automotive companies in the 1950s and 1960s due to Volkswagen's post-war success, the brand's ability to produce innovative and popular models solidified its place in automotive history.
