Although the Volkswagen Beetle was designed in the 1930s, production was delayed until the late 1940s due to World War II. Initially labeled as the Volkswagen Type 1, subsequent models followed. Recognized as the “Käfer” in Germany (meaning Beetle in German) and “Coccinelle” in France (translated as ladybug in French), this Beetle represents an evolved iteration. Unlike its predecessors with split oval rear windows, this version boasts a single oval rear window, a change implemented between October 1952 and March 1953.
Among the variants, this particular “ladybug” stands as one of the most prized Beetles in our auction lineup. While some restoration work is required, its remarkable originality sets it apart.
