20 GF9 VW Bug Convertible



VW Convertible
The VW Bug convertible is a great addition to the Bug line. The open top gives a great view of the interior which is as basic as the real car was.


This particular release was part of a basic series, as you might have already guessed, the Easter series. Easter cars always feature fun liveries in bright colors and usually feature some fun castings.  The yellow paint job is bright, the purple interior shows off the Easter spirit. The blue chrome 5 spoke wheels are an odd addition but do tie the striping on the car back to the overall look. Maybe the interior color is the odd color.


The convertible version also features the metal base, cast in headlights and the basic body lines of the hard-top version. The body lines are a little chunky looking on the convertible versions but they are not to far off, so the casting overall looks great.

This version is a 2010 Easter eggclusive series release. There was a yellow version and a baby blue version. The last release of the Volkswagen Beetle convertible was 2014. Hopefully, it will make its way back sometime soon. I really enjoy all the VW Beetle versions and look forward to adding to my own collection.

Thank you,
Collector Quentin
