This specific model, which once symbolized a popular and affordable vehicle, has transformed into an extremely valued luxury item in the classic car collector market.
This 1952 example has characteristics that make it highly sought after, as explained by Alex Fabiano from GG World Classic Cars. The VW model is a “matching numbers” car, meaning all parts, including the engine and transmission, are original and correspond to factory records, which is essential for appreciating a classic car.
Additionally, its historical provenance is special: the vehicle was imported by Brasmotor to Brazil before Volkswagen’s national production in the country. Keeping items like the spare key and the original manual also contributes to its high value.
The appreciation of this model also reflects the market’s interest in classic cars as an investment. Antique cars have been compared to works of art, attracting not only vehicle enthusiasts but also investors seeking financial returns.
