Hi,
I bought last year my 1950 first hand split beetle and I don't know exactly the origine of the logo infront of the car.
Some guys told me that the car is coming from Porto in Portugal (europe).
Can you help me?
Do you have some other pictures?
Thank you



:wink:

Very cool split - Nice find :P

They are 16"X 4" wheels modified in Porto in portugal in 1950.
16" preA have 10 holes on, and mine have 9 holes.
I have got the 5 wheels in good state.



thanks for the messages!!!

Wow, Intresting car. That is one cool badge! Those wheels are also intresting, Why were they modified?

modified in Porto (portugal) in 1950 by the Volkswagen seller there.

Their kick ass, only ones Ive ever seen like that. Cant be many around.

thank you.
It's dificult now to find the good tires for them.
In france they cost a lot: 850*16 michelin for five wheels are 1500€ so 2355$ now.

let's see the engine...



everything is original!!!
