Were dashes that flexible when new?

I'd be pissed if someone did that to my dash! My 63 dash was pretty flexible and cushy but not like that - however you're right, it's old. Bob Sowersby would know  |

Cool video, he was hammering that car though.
Dashboard Screen cap:
It looks like he damaged it to me. It looked a bit crooked afterward.
I've never tried to do that on my mint dash and no way am I going to push that hard!

After so many of us have watched "The love bug" (1969) so many times, we wonder how we missed these Type 3!
A grey, bumperless Notchback in the Riverside sports car race! In the enlarged photo you can clearly see the central dual "bumps" of the rear apron. It's definitely not a BMW 1600 or 2002 (round taillamps) or an Alfa Romeo Giulia Sedan (4 doors + rectangular, horizontally mounted taillamps).
Blue early Squareback parked for race spectator-
Possibly the same Squareback but in different location, with an ivory Karmann Ghia parked next to it. The Ghia could be the same one briefly seen at the very end/checkered flag shot of Herbie's first race at Jackrabbit Springs. |

Red early Notchback, South African movie "Liefste Veertjie" (1975)-
From the German TV public service program "Der 7. Sinn: Die Unentbehrlichen" (1969; translated The 7th sense: The essentials).
Red with black roof Notchback, German movie "Das kann doch unseren Willi nicht erschuettern" (1970) translates "that can't shake up our Willie". The white car in left background is a rear-engined Czech-built Skoda 100. |

You sure do. Streets of LA from 1968 to 1975. Those are the ones that became the cheap cars for us in the 80's/90's and filled the junk yards with rows and rows of VWs to pick from.

Light blue early Squareback parked at left, South African movie "Sien jou more" (1970).
Red late Squareback in parking lot, behind main character Diana Prince/Wonder woman (Lynda Carter) in her red Chevy. TV show "Wonder woman" episode "The richest man in the world" from season 1 (1979).
Several Type 3 (red arrows) and Beetles, also a Ghia in parking lot, TV show "Mission: Impossible" season 3 episode 11, 1968. Is that a green Fastback to the left of the light blue Squareback? |
