Vehicle Description
Up for sale is an exceptionally rare and beautifully preserved 1950 Volkswagen Beetle, a true piece of automotive history. This early model "Split Window" Beetle is an iconic representation of post-war German engineering and one of the most collectible Volkswagens ever produced. Built just five years after WWII, this Beetle retains the charm and simplicity that made it a global phenomenon. This particular example features its original 1100cc 25-horsepower flat-four engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission - both of which are numbers-matching and run smoothly. The engine starts with ease and delivers that unmistakable vintage VW sound. The chassis and pan are original, solid, and free of structural rust, having been meticulously maintained and stored properly over the decades. The exterior is finished in its factory-correct color, with subtle patina that tells the story of an unmolested survivor car. The iconic split rear window, heart-shaped tail lights, semaphores (trafficators), and correct chrome accents are all present and functional. These early features are specific to pre-1953 models and are becoming increasingly hard to find in original condition. Inside, the interior has been carefully preserved with attention to period-correct details. The seats, headliner, and door panels are in excellent shape, finished in original-style materials. The dashboard is simple and elegant, featuring the early-style speedometer and functioning switches. The original steering wheel, Wolfsburg crest horn button, and rubber floor mats remain intact. This Beetle has seen limited use but regular care. It comes with a clean title, historical documentation, and a handful of vintage accessories including an original tool kit and jack. Whether you're a collector, enthusiast, or someone who simply appreciates timeless design, this 1950 Volkswagen Beetle is an opportunity to own a true classic that is rapidly appreciating in value. Early Beetles in this condition rarely come to market. This is more than a car - it's a rolling piece of history. Serious inquiries only. Additional photos, walkaround videos, and documentation available upon request. Worldwide shipping available.
