  • Final year of U.S. sedan imports

1977 marked the final year the VW Beetle Sedan was imported to the U.S. This was the lastl iteration of Germany’s People's Car that was capable of transporting four adults in relative comfort at highway speeds of sixty miles-per-hour. Reputedly inspired by the Czechoslovakian Tatra T97, the Beetle has become an icon of mid-century culture.

This stunning Beetle is virtually as perfect as the day it was delivered. With only 1,772 miles on its odometer and an unmarked interior and stunning paint, this car is the de-facto bookend to U.S. Beetle imports as the newest and best available. The low miles and factory sliding sunroof add to the allure of this Blue Metallic model. With increasing values of Beetles this is a rare opportunity to purchase what might be the best available on the market today.
