[@jimpuff8409]

I own a 1952 zwitter split window ( late model) always garaged.

Awesome! It's always great to see when a video awakens emotions. Send some pictures of your car, as it's always nice to see similar examples! Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Beautiful! 8:24 That's what Germans call "Rheumaklappe". Very rare today.

[@petrolheadclassics]

Thank you! I've learned something new. Didn't know the ventilation flaps were called this in German, but perhaps cold draught from them in winter was not the healthiest for joints... And yes, they're rare, only for 1951-52. Both the Cabrio and the brown Export model have them! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Best vid here,,,,,took box( I never saw),,,my first car=73'bug.........can't wait to have one again....land o' lakes,wi...usa

[@petrolheadclassics]

Thank you so much! So if you had a '73, it probably was what you call a 'Super Beetle' with curved windscreen? Cool :) Yes, the toolbox is a lovely extra. We'll have a '78 Beetle Cabriolet coming in soon. Limited Edition. Might be perfect for touring around those lakes! Thanks for watchin and commenting!

Hi Stephen! What an awesome car your Beetle must have been. Lovely colour combination. I am happy to hear that our video brings back memories. Thank you for viewing and subscribing. Merry Christmas!

Great video. Hopefully more are coming!

[@petrolheadclassics]

Thanks a lot! Absolutely. Up next are two lovely early Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia ‘Lowlight’. We’ve just finished editing and plan to release the video towards the end of the week. Stay tuned and thank you for your feedback.

Fantastic! Automotive history!

[@petrolheadclassics]

Thank you so much! Very kind of you. More great content coming up!

[@lorenelorene558]

Great video.....loved the top down version. Very informative.

[@petrolheadclassics]

Thank you so much and glad you enjoyed our video! Yes, the Cabriolet Karmann is stunning but all three cars are a piece of history. If you like early Volkswagen, do view our video of a fantastic pair of early 'Lowlight' Karmann-Ghia: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5DIiHeil6l3i7c Much more coming up, so stay tuned. Happy Sunday!

Show more of that brown car please 🙏

[@petrolheadclassics]

Thank you for commenting and happy you like the Chestnut Brown Beetle. It's also my personal favourite in this amazing trio. You'll find plenty of great pictures on our website: www.petrolheadclassics.com/1952_volkswagen_beetle_de_luxe I might make another video as well at a later point in time.

I have called the dealer a few times, but no one seems to pick up the phone... Anyone know the price of the standard?

[@petrolheadclassics]

Thanks for writing. I haven’t noticed any missed calls. Please write me on: [e-mail] with your email and phone number and I’ll contact you!

[@Predikant]

I understood that the early Beetles had 1000 cc engines?

[@petrolheadclassics]

The Split-Window Beetles actually had a 1,1 l air cooled boxer with 25 hp. Thanks for watching!

Standard Mobil 😮

[@petrolheadclassics]

The 'Standard' Beetle really displays the need for affordable mobility after WWII. Nothing you don't need. If you're US based, it's also very rare, as these cars were meant for the German home market. All others got the 'Export' model, like the brown car in the video.
