The VW Ovali Beetle is a variant of the legendary Volkswagen Beetle, produced from 1953 to 1957. The model owes its nickname to the distinctive oval rear window , which replaced the earlier two-part "pretzel beetle." The Ovali marked an important developmental step: In addition to the new window design, it received technical improvements such as a new dashboard, modernized electrical systems (12-volt system optional), and a more efficient chassis. Today, the Ovali is considered a sought-after collector's item, embodying the perfect balance between classic design and technical maturity in Beetle construction.
