| Jamey, there are about 20-25 busses like yours known to exist. There are around 50 known Westflias that are 1958 or older. I'm sure there are atleast twice that number that still exist but have fallen off the grid. |

By any chance is your bus a European Model (semaphores) with old personalized license plates? |

Here is how it was when I got it.

not much rust at all.
under neath looks good
the bed
63813 mile never turn over.
The guy I got it form told me it was white with light blue but he painted the dark blue on it in high school. On the front & drivers side you can see the old paint coming out

| Wow! I see seamed doglegs and a wolfsburg front bumper. What month of 56 is it? Does it have other wolfsburg features? tube transmission carrier, seal around the gas flap and the rest? |
