Picture of 1978 Volkswagen Beetle For 1978, the standard Beetle was no longer available in the U.S., though Volkswagen did introduce an upscale, limited-edition Champagne Edition II, which was a Beetle Convertible equipped with burled elm trim on the dashboard, ermine upholstery, a quartz clock, and a Blaupunkt stereo system. It came with either metallic blue or metallic red exterior paint. Power for the Champagne Edition II was provided by an air-cooled, rear-mounted, fuel-injected four-cylinder engine that generated 58 horsepower. A four-speed manual transmission, dual braking system, four-wheel independent suspension, and flow-through ventilation system were also part of the package.

not practical with the two kids but perfect with the hubbys early mid life crisis and genuine boyhood fantasy. drove like a dream and looked like a purple goddess, full of all the original features except heating, but that was sacrificed for performance and a beast of an engine. was the second love of hubbys life, after the dog!!!!!!!!!!!!! shame shes gone but better to have had and experienced than dream about forever

I am 16 and have a beautiful 1978 Vw Beetle Convertable. I LOVE my car more than anything in the world!! The best part is I only paid $5,000 dollars for it. I would recomend a Beetle convertable to anyone.

my college car, fairly unreliable but the most loved of all the cars i have owned. Cool to wave to other beetle drivers and go to the Bug jams at santa pod. Plus all the parking up in fields dancing to hardcore! great memories

Umm, I love this car so much. My Grandpa bought it in Baguio when He was working there (BIR). The Beetle's name is BEE and this is the first car I drove at the streets even if there's no aircon. hehe :)))
