Principaux détails marquants:
The 1957 model produced until end of July 1957 is identical to the 1956 model. The gas pump receives an embossing. The oil fill-up now has a removable cap. Early 1957, tubeless tyres appear.

Colours
For the 1957 model, sedans can be delivered in aloe green, prairie beige and diamand green, while the cabriolets receive a new deep blue and a bamboo green. The two models are now available in coral red. At last !

In August 1957, the oval rear-window is replaced by a rectangular rear-window, but we will tell you this story later !

 

All these informations on the "Ovale" come out from the Super VW Magazine number 14 .
