For connoisseurs and friends of the unforgotten post-war Volkswagen that went down in history as the "VW Beetle", one of the various special versions has an extra high status: the Hebmüller Cabriolet. It was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1949 and was a racy, elegant two-seater with a fully retractable soft top. This was in contrast to the four-seater VW Cabrio, which only went into production at Karmann a few months later and whose soft top, when open, rested high on the rear in the traditional German manner, denying the car its sporty aspect. The company Joseph Hebmüller Söhne in Barmen near Wuppertal had already made a name for itself in the interwar period. It produced open-top versions for Dürkopp, Fiat, Ford, Hanomag and Opel as well as individual bodies based on Bugatti and other models.
