Are these third/ extra rear light mandatory in Canada ? I have never seen them in Europe. Looks a bit odd IMO. Besides that a very lovely Bug.

It could be a later 1952 VW Beetle painted in blue. It is the original color, but not the original paint. Several changes included: Glass vent windows are added, replacing the vent flaps on front quarter panels, two taillights are added on rear fenders, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears are synchronized, redesigned dashboard, and turn signal lever is moved to the left side of steering column. Also, license plate light on rear (engine) deck is no longer displayed a taillight.

This must be an early production 53 as after March they changed to the less attractive oval window.

I noticed that the reserve tap is turned over to the left instead of pointing straight up. That means it's off. My last VW was a '57 sunroof, last year of the ovals.
@beatles0998 жыл бұрын
If this is an early 53, then its a split. The ovals came later that year but they had the same dash.
@fk45153 жыл бұрын
I think the term "Zwitter bug" he used defines those cars built with the new dash normally found in oval window bugs but still using the split rear window. During this era VW wasn't so much into model years when they decided to make a production change as soon as the old parts ran out they switched. Farm equipment manufacturers did similar things as we had a John Deere Model "A" tractor that had both early and late features so we know it was made during a 6 week period when they made tractors with the new style transmission cover and shifter but still had the magneto ignition.

@_chan.burn.21_9 жыл бұрын
Actually, your statement isn't correct, it's called a Zwitter Beetle, these VW's were the dead last of the "Split-Windows" that were manufactured in late 1952. They featured the "Oval-Window's" dash and a majority of the interior bits you'd find on one, including the steering wheel (depending on which model trim you purchased at the time). But they still featured the "Split-Window's" 25 hp 1131cc air-cooled "boxer" 4-cylinder engine, although this car has a "heart transplant" of what is most likely a early to mid 60s VW 1200cc 40 hp engine and an aftermarket exhaust. Despite all this, this is a beautiful Zwitter Bug and even though it isn't fully correct, he just wanted a little bit of variety in his. Plus, a 25 hp VW engine could never get this car up to speed on the freeway, but an engine like this could much easier, though a 1641cc or 1776cc engine (aftermarket) could cruise this car comfortably down the road, maybe even passing other cars in the process ;)
@tomas5999 жыл бұрын
they had the split in 53, but with the oval dash. just google it. or check out pictures, 53 volkswagen bug, you will see like half ovals half splits.
@tomas5999 жыл бұрын
+Chandler Burns in order to be considered a split it just has to have the factory bar down the center of the rear window. It was made this way so the glass used could be flat, (cheaper) Regardless of the details from year to year, it is still called a split window. so in 53 you will see ovals, and splits, the last year, that is seen here as parts you would see on a oval.
