The Beetle is so iconic it is recognized the moment it comes into view. But despite a car that was advertised for being the same, here's a hierarchy among these love bugs, nd this 1957 Volkswagen Beetle is right on top. With desirable early features, reat colors, nd a well maintained/restored quality inside & out, his is a showstopper at an affordable price.We're getting all sorts of attention on this one. Beetle aficionados cherish these years because of the craftsmanship that goes into the earlier cars, ncluding the Wolfsburg crest on the front, W" decklid, nd the overall fit and finish. Plus, 57 was the last year of the oval rear window. But all enthusiasts love features like the shiny Coral Red paint, ustom VW wheels with whitewall tires, right factory chrome bumpers, n abundance of other brightwork, nd of course, he full-length ragtop sunroof.The VW signature spartan interior is very well-finished, nd features light beige vinyl upholstery with Coral Red piping to match the exterior. The door panels and dash also carry the same tropical hue for a true uniform appearance. The driver gets a grippy white steering wheel with the Wolfsburg city crest proudly affixed to the center. Beyond that is the VDO speedometer that looks just as much at home in a Porsche as it does here. This one feels thoroughly factory correct, early factory fresh, nd it has the rare center-mounted VDO tachometer!The engine bay is a very clean marvel of simplicity just what these Beetles should be. The very tidy 1200cc horizontally-opposed four-cylinder engine is topped by the Solex one-barrel carburetor. It fires up easily with a magical buzz that only an air-cooled motor can. These are far from the most powerful motors out there, ut it's the engineering that makes the VW legendary. The rear mounted motor gives the car good traction, nd doesn't have the power loss associated with a large driveshaft. The four-cylinder is built to be stout and run all day without overheating thanks to air cooling. Also, ou get to make the most out of this motor with the control of the four-speed manual transmission. The result is a nippy little car. But let's face it, hen it looks this good, ou want to be going slow enough so everyone gets a good stare at this bug.A classic VW is an easy car to drive, aintain, nd above all, herish. It only gets better when an early one with such desirable features is turnkey ready and easily affordable. With the longer days ahead, e know this ragtop sunroof example will be going quick.
