There are some vintage VWs that you want to collect, nd some you want to drive. Then there are the few like this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle convertible that have all the right features to make you want to do both.When it comes to owning a convertible Bug, 979 was the final year of a legend and the best of a breed. Volkswagen knew how to produce these bodies with a Teutonic tightness that was still simple to maintain. It is a level of fit and finish that makes the Beetle an enduring icon. Adding to this durable feeling is a recent respray of the original River Blue color. It was a meticulous paintjob with plenty of shine to highlight all the curves of the Beetle body. The black vinyl roof gives this a bit of aggression, nd the eight-spoke alloy wheels are a nice sporty touch.Take a peek inside. If the exceptionally clean black interior looks slightly different from all the other Beetles you've seen that's probably because this one has been upgraded to leather. The high-back bucket seats that came on the later models are particularly comfortable for all-day cruising. Another nice feature is a newer AM/FM/CD stereo with more powerful speakers in the kick panels.
