VIN 2206150

Full Description: This car was built in November 1958, but it is titled as a 1959, because it was sold new in 1959. However Lowlight historians refer to them the year they were built. The Title is in my name, and it is free and clear. This was a one family owned car up until about 4 months ago. They named this car "Ruby", after the original owner's name, she bought it brand new in Feb. 1959 in Eugene, Oregon. This little Ghia time capsule has lived its whole life here in the Willamette Valley.

Full Description: Third owner car. First owner bought it in Germany on 3 Jan. 58, a US spec Ghia. It has the optional electric fuel gauge, has a complete spare tire tool kit with VW logo, original sales paperwork, Sept 57 owner's manual, and little red driving tips book. Body is pretty straight, just a few dings and a few rust spots to watch. No longer painted Brilliant Red, but is still a bright red.

August 1958 Coupe

Full Description: A work in progress for the past three years. The car was apparently sold at Gus Mozart's dealership in Palo Alto, California. It was produced in August 1958 and is registered as a 1958, though by some criteria it should be designated a 1959 model. Most of the features are typical of 1958 Ghias, including the blinker pediments on the fenders, the edges of the dasboard, and the odd 'spring' style door check straps. The horn button is plastic, as per 1959, however.
