My dad has a disptick in his 68 VW Beetle that is a one piece stick with a VW emblem on the top instead of the round pull knob. He got it years ago from his friend that worked at a VW shop. Does anyone know where one of these can be purchased, or has anyone seen one of these?

I haven't seen those for sale in a long time. Was thing to search for a photo of one but didn't turn one up. I believe I used to see them in either one of the old accessory parts books I had around 1990 or in the VW magazines I used to read back then.

Then I was searching the old Forum posts - found this one, but the one shown is like totally custom made.

Maybe someone still makes a billet alumuminum disptick with the VW logo on top, but I didn't find any when doing some searches just now. Could be another casualty of Volkswagen's logo/trademark-violation crackdowns.

thanks for checking. my husband is dying to get one. If I ever find one, I'm going to snatch it up.
