1951 VW Deluxe 15-Window wins in Transporter class at The Amelia Concours d’Elegance
The winner of the Best in Class award for Volkswagen Transporters was the 1951 Volkswagen Deluxe 15-Window Transporter, owned by Joe Mond of Dubuque, IA.
Using standard Type 1 (Beetle) components, the Type 2 was Volkswagen’s attempt to develop variations of its original car while sharing components to increase production efficiency and profitability.
Powered by a 25 horsepower engine with black interior upholstery, the Best in Class Deluxe 15-Window is finished in a two-tone exterior color combination of Sealing Wax Red and Chestnut Brown.
Judges of the class were Tim Suddard, Alexander Soultanis, and comedian/Volkswagen T2 enthusiast, Gabriel Iglesias.
Along with Volkswagen’s all-electric compact SUV, the ID.4, the Type 2’s electrified successor, the ID. Buzz, participated in the Taking Charge parade of EVs on Sunday morning. The appearance of the European ID. Buzz helped announce to event attendees that the debut of its longer wheelbase North American version will take place in California this summer.
