Model information

Oval Window Beetle Deluxe

Info

This was my uncle’s Oval Window Beetle. I’m not sure of the last digit of his registration.

He bought it from either Park Motors in Dublin 7 or from Phil Brady in Arvagh, Co. Cavan in early 1957. The Beetle lived on North Circular Road, Dublin 7 until it was traded with Brady’s in late 1962 for another Beetle. The Insurance company at the time wanted to insure it as a sports car since the performance was so much livelier than the British cars of the era. Thanks, John
