VW STOLL COUPÉ: A Unique Luxury Beetle From The 1950s – Early Volkswagen Elegance On Wheels
The Volkswagen Beetle Stoll Coupé is a unique custom model from the early 1950s, designed by lawyer Bernhard Riepenhausen and built by coachbuilder Stoll in Bad Nauheim. Based on a 1951 export Beetle, this coupe was crafted to break away from the uniformity of mass production, featuring elegant custom touches like a patented folding rear seat, leather interiors, and a large rear window likely sourced from a BMW 501. Powered by a 1.1-liter, 24.5-horsepower engine, its lightweight construction ensures a nimble driving experience despite modest acceleration.

With over 400,000 kilometers covered by its first owner, the Stoll Coupé proved its durability and usability. At the time, coachbuilders like Karmann, Rometsch, and Hebmüller were also innovating with luxury adaptations of the Beetle, setting the stage for models like the Karmann Ghia. Today, the Stoll Coupé is seen as a milestone in automotive history, representing the spirit of postwar ingenuity and the demand for personalized design.
