Super Beetle Feature

I've been into Volkswagens since about the age of 4, when my dad purchased a well used 1968 Beetle for my mom, which became her daily driver from 1979 through 1986. When I started driving, my first car was a VW! My dad helped me by purchasing a 1956 Beetle, followed by a 1964 Sunroof Sedan, which was my car for part of high school. I followed this with quite a few more VWs. My parents were both influential in my Volkswagen hobby beginnings! When it came time for my younger brother Dan to start driving, we found a very worn out 1973 Super Beetle in nearby Evanston, Illinois.

The Sports Bug

A Special Edition Beetle

Yellow Super Beetle Sports BugOf all the Special Edition Beetles, the 1973 Sports Bug stands out as a fan favorite, exclusively available as a Super Beetle. It boasted a unique paint finish, black bumpers, black exterior trim, a rear window defroster, and a leather sports steering wheel handcrafted by Petri AG.
