Picked up a split earlier this week. What year was there not a high beam switch indent on the passenger side? Mine does not have one |

You're right bwaz, Good eye spotting that!
Nothing to whine about there (besides not having that much dough to splurge on a true classic rarity)... [which bank can I rob?] J/K
Some wealthy ardent collector's sure to go home happy; (and less wealthy) |

This IS a whine. $75,000 and has incorrect apron clearly FAKED to look period correct!!!??!? Wonder how well the muffler tube cutouts were welded up.
Museum quality as much as the 1,000,000th Gold Beetle sporting an incorrect front hood crest I suppose

Interesting how the 'selective' crop of photos avoid showing those (+ other) tell-tale details.
Too bad for the "deflated hopes"

After reading that, I couldn't help but research the restoration & history on this car. The car isn't even sitting on it's original pan. Not the original motor? How is this '47 the most original known? _________________ 1947 Typ 11a

NICE! even blue to match my split.

Does anyone have the orig engine nr, body nr, current chassis nr, and the date from the generator stand on the current engine?
Info from the birth certificate?
It looks like it is from about April 47 ?
* It's the "most original 47" that *they* knew???
