No late 52 started the oval dash.
Heres Johnny Moran's 52 Zwitter vert. 6 month vert. Rare.

you would never know the vert was a zwitter by looking at it.

Exactly. I think that always bothered him because the average joe always thought it was a 55 vert.

Maybe if he hadn't used 55 US spec tail lights????????

I remember that 'vert. But look how ugly the purple watter pumper is in the background. Ah the days of the VW Jamboree.

I believe it was March of '52 when the oval dash was put in. :?

Gone. There must have been something fishy about it.

You are correct. I hate it when I'm wrong. VW made the '53 oval starting in March of '53----- making it rarer that the zwitter. Please correct me if I'm wrong again and I'll have a reason to take a nap. :D
