Anybody know anything about this plate? http://cgi.ebay.com/VW-Type-1-11-old-Volkswagen-CH...dZViewItem

It looks like what they used to put in the front of the gas tank to identify the old beetles.

You're correct......Oval era ID plate. The question is: What type of car?

Type 11...1957 standard...no? :?

1/11??? Is that how they were marked? My '53 is 11C. What is: one/eleven? I'm still confused. :?

It changed in '54. The 1/11 is a Standard LHD, the 1/12 is a Standard/RHD, the 1/13 is a Deluxe/LHD and the 1/14 is a Deluxe/RHD, etc...

The plate on my 1957 "cable brake" standard is the same way.
