Model information
1500 Beetle Deluxe
Info
The holy grail of Beetles in many people’s eyes, especially fans of Cal Look Beetles. In many ways these people are right as the 1967 Beetle, especially a 1500 model like this one, came with a more powerful and the most reliable engine, disc brakes, unique one year only panels and 12 volt electrics while still retaining the classic blade bumpers and sloping headlights, something that was lost a few months later when the ‘new’ 1968 upright headlight model was introduced.
We love all old VWs here at Beetle.ie but there are those for whom nothing but pre-68 will do and perhaps the owner of this ’67 1500 is one such owner. No matter their standing, they have an enviably stock and correct looking 1967 1500 Beetle in amazing condition so we can be just a little jealous of their Bug if we’re being honest!
Geoff Forde saw this beautiful Savanna Beige (L620) Beetle at the 23rd annual Irish Classic & Vintage Motor Show which was held in Terenure College, Dublin on July 6th 2014. I haven’t seen it since but I’d love to catch up with the owner at a show some day and take some time to look over the car because it looks factory fresh. Even the aftermarket mirrors on the front wings don’t look out of place.
