Foxey Lady: 1988 Volkswagen Fox

Volkswagen phased out their long running Beetle for the US Market after the 1979 model year, and somewhat replaced it with the Rabbit/Golf. However, the Beetle was sized and priced more like a subcompact, which VW ignored for a few years until they remembered that they had something built down in Brazil called the Gol. They couldn’t just call it the Gol for the USA market, because people would assume the Brazilian build quality was dodgey enough that the F had fallen off the back of a brand new Golf, so they called it the Fox. Find this 1988 Volkswagen Fox offered for $5,500 in Houston, TX via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
