1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible Epilogue Edition (often spelled Epilog) was a limited final-run commemorative model marking the end of U.S. Super Beetle convertible sales. Only about 900 to 1,000 units were built in a signature "triple-black" color scheme before Karmann produced the final German-built convertible in January 1980.
