DESCRIPTION
This auction is for a Matchbox (MB) 1962 VW Beetle in 1:64th scale. This quality replica captures the sunny, ragtop version (faux top is closed). The car is in mint condition. The card shows shelf wear with a slight bend and yellowed blister pack. Please see the photos. The color is glacier blue with a blue interior. Don't miss the state of Massachusetts graphics. For 1961, significant technical advances occurred in the form of a new engine and transmission. The engine remained at 1200cc but the power increased to 40hp (30 kW; 41 PS) primarily due to an increase in compression ratio to 7.1:1. The carburetor received an electric automatic choke and the transmission was now synchronized on all forward gears. The traditional semaphore turn signals were replaced by conventional flashing directional indicators worldwide. The standard model called the TYPE 111-112, continued to use the 36hp 1200cc engine of the old architecture that dates back to Franz Reimspiess original design of 1937 all the way until the end of the 1965 model year. 1965 standard model in 1965 is called the "A" sedan.
For 1962, the Beetle received a mechanical fuel level gauge in place of the former fuel tap. The Standard model continued without a gas gauge until the end of the 1965 model year. At the rear, larger tail lights were introduced incorporating a separate amber turn signal section to meet new European standards (these turn signals remained red in the US market until 1973). The former hand-pump style windscreen washer was replaced by a new design using compressed air. A Schrader valve located on the washer fluid tank allowed the system to be charged at a filling station to the recommended 35 psi (2.4 bar).
This model features great detail and value. Act quickly to add classic, automotive history to your collection! As always, die cast models make outstanding gifts!
