NHTSA Receives Petition for Importation of Nonconforming Volkswagen Beetles

Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has accepted a petition to allow the importation of 1972-1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertibles and 1972-1977 Volkswagen Beetle Sedans that do not meet all federal safety standards, as they are substantially similar to US-certified models and can be modified to comply with regulations.
