1952 Volkswagen Beetle

A true collector's gem, this stunning 1952 Volkswagen Beetle represents one of the most iconic automotive designs of the 20th century. Finished in rare Jupiter Grey, this split-window Type 1 sedan is powered by a 1,131cc flat-four engine paired with a non-synchronized four-speed manual transaxle, delivering an authentic vintage driving experience.

Originally part of Ronald Lauder's private collection, this Beetle features classic semaphore turn indicators, 16-inch steel wheels with black hubcaps, painted bumpers, and a Bosch front fog light. The interior keeps things simple and period-correct with gray cloth upholstery, front bucket seats, an AM radio, and a VDO 80-mph speedometer.

A set of Excelsior Cross-Ply tires and four-corner drum brakes keep the ride true to its roots, while the auxiliary lighting and detailed trim speak to its well-preserved charm. Now offered by Bring a Trailer, this split-window Bug is more than just a quirky survivor, it's a beautifully preserved example of Volkswagen history, complete with New York registration and timeless appeal.
