Volkswagen KdF-Wagen

Information

This Car’s Past

KdFs were allocated to low-profile top officials in the Nazi regime. This car was delivered to the German Red Cross at Potzdam Babelsberg in Berlin on June 1, 1943. Representatives of The Red Cross, an ostensibly neutral international organization, visited and were posted to prisoner-of-war and concentration camps, which may account for the car’s later discovery in Poland. This Volkswagen was advertised for sale in a Polish provincial newspaper in 2000 and spotted by its current owner, consignee Dr Robert 'Mac' Jones. He dispatched a connoisseur to view the car, who discovered that it was a real VW KDF beetle. The car was quickly purchased and taken to Germany, where it was delivered to Peter Schmalbach in Frankfurt-am-Mein, the leading expert on Wehrmacht vehicle restorations.

Internationally renowned collector Dr Mac Jones owns several VW KdF models, and he declares that, this is one of the best known and restored cars out there. I personally spent many hours chasing down original KDF parts for the restoration. I spent enormous amounts of time researching the correct details to make it right.
