VW Hebmuller Cabriolet 1949

VW Hebmuller Cabriolet

What is your favourite car of all time?

Produced by Josef Hebmuller and Son of Wulfrath, the type 14A as it was called was launched at the Geneva Salon in the Spring of 1949. A handsome two-seater convertible, the car's most striking aspect was that the rear deck looked like (and probably was to begin with) as if it had began life as a Beetle hood. Of 2000 cars originally ordered by VW, less than 700 were built, making the Hebmuller Cabriolet one of the rarest and most desirable of classic Volkswagens. One reason put forward for the model's lack of success was the launch of the Karmann four-seater version, which although not quite so good looking was much more practical.
