Black limousine version of the iconic Volkswagen Beetle custom made in 1969, reimagined people’s car that turned heads wherever it went.

Unique stretch Beetle commissioned by Porsche/VW distributor John von Neumann and built by Troutman-Barnes.

Known as the Rollswagen, the limousine was featured in VW’s national ad campaign as “The $35,000 Beetle.”

1969 Volkswagen Beetle Limousine by Troutman-Barnes was recently sold at Sotheby’s for $335,000 USD.

Limousine retains the unmistakable silhouette of classic Volkswagen Beetle.

The car has been elongated into a full limousine, its body extended with additional doors and windows to create a long, elegant profile.

Nicknamed the “Rollswagen,” the limousine appeared at the Los Angeles International Auto Show and quickly became a talking point of the era.

Finished in black paint, VW Limousine carries a surprising air of sophistication, bridging the gap between economy car and luxury statement piece.
