Summary
This rare "Zwitter" example, built between October 1952 and March 1953, features a retractable canvas sunroof and a replacement four-speed manual transaxle with synchronized first gear. It includes revised dashboard, vent windows, and exterior trim of the upcoming oval-window Beetle, though later-model taillights have been fitted. The odometer shows 96k miles, but the seller states it is not accurate and true mileage is unknown.
