Last week of November, '52. A Zwitter.

Groovy, my zwitter was born 11/26/52 ser. 10417196. Is that only 124 cars apart ? Wonder how many they were making a day back then? I assume they were made within a day or two of each other.

Nov '52 monthly Beetle production was 9855. Divided by 31, that's about 318 cars a day. I think I read that the were running the factory 6 days a week then, so more cars per (mfg) day. IF they are 124 numbers apart, very likely they were made on the same day....

Wow, 124 cars apart, 11/26/52, 318 cars a day - that's like finding a long lost brother!

Thanks for the info.

RBLyon, you keep checking your backyard, you never know what might turn up..... maybe I should sell this one to you - I keep having thoughts of "Kommanderwagen-cloning"....
