When I was a kid living in Berlin Germany in the 1950's there was a Beetle convertible parked down the street from us. It was dark blue with a black top and the front seats had grab bars across the tops. If I remember right the windshield was slightly different shaped than the 57 at the other end of the block.It also had thin slim bumpers. I have never seen another one like that since. Any of you have any ideas what year that could have been.
