Beetle Mania Hits Metroplex Courtesy of New Arrival at DFW Elite Car Club.com

    /24-7PressRelease/ - FORT WORTH, TX, July 24, 2007 - Sporting a convertible top and sky blue hue, the latest prescription for pure fun just joined the collection at DFW Elite Car Club.com. The pristine 1959 VW Beetle convertible is the newest classic car available to car enthusiasts at DFW Elite Car Club.com.

"The people who admire and restore VW's are passionate about the car that is still the best selling automobile model of all-time," says Ron Sturgeon, the owner of DFW Elite Car Club.com. "Our VW Karmann Ghias have both been very popular for weekend fun with our members," says Sturgeon, "and we expect the same for this classic 1959 VW Beetle."

"Lots of people owned a VW Beetle at school or as a teenager," says Car Club Director Kevin Bailey. "I think a few of our members will get a kick out of driving one again or going out on the town in the car they had when they first met," Going on 50, the bright sky blue Beetle still blends fun with nostalgia.

Some fun VW Beetle trivia: As the best-selling, most recognizable car in the world, over half a million Beetles were made in 1959 alone, and total production topped 21 million over 62 years. Independent suspension and anti-sway bars were introduced in 1959, enhancing VW's reputation for reliability. Famed pilot and environmentalist Charles Lindbergh trusted his '59 VW Beetle so much he drove it through four continents, including Africa.

"The advertising campaign that launched the VW Beetle was as innovative as the car," says Bailey. "Its tagline was 'Think Small'. It's hard for any Texan to admit, but in the case of this vintage '59 VW convertible, small equals fun."
