The New Beetle is outfitted with a custom white leather interior and convertible top, hand stitched floor mats, pink quilted leather lined door pockets and arm rests, and plenty of rhinestone accents and vanity mirrors. read more...

Maybe a manufacturer can work on that for her 60th birthday? read more...
