|
|
Okay quick question/quick topic...
No luck with search
Did the script on the rear of buses change over the years. Any one have pics? I am asking because I haven't found one at shows that anyone would confirm would fit my 62 _________________ April 3rd 62 standard mgr/pw

"Frigedaire" or "Hotpoint". "Amana" is too short. Or maybe a dealership badge?. _________________

Maybe, but not anything VW produced or shipped it with. Script started in Oct. IIRC and was on the hinge panel under the hatch.
I agree, dealer badge. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

The Boulder (Colorado) Valley (dealership) badge I just measured is 100 mm from the two mounts or a smidge less than four inches. |

When did the '1500' become an option? wasn't it late '62?
A '1500' or similar badge would be my guess. _________________ Немає виправдання для війни! Я з Україною.

Could be a dealer badge, as others have said. How far apart are the holes? _________________ Немає виправдання для війни! Я з Україною.

The 1500 emblem is very small.
It looks similar to the size of the VOLKSWAGEN emblem on later Buses but I believe that has 4 prongs.
Example
Measure the distance between the holes and maybe someone can match up one of their existing dealer or other badges to tell you what will fit. _________________ How to Post Photos

see that's the kind of stuff I'm looking for I didn't know that emblem had four prongs. like I said above I will measure the holes when I can but as it is surely a dealership logo I can assume there all going to be different so matching one up will be difficult .

The 1500 script coincidentally is the same as the dealer badge, 100 mm, has two smooth studs, but they are fatter than the VW script's studs. |

But could a 62 have had a 1500 engine from the factory? _________________ April 3rd 62 standard mgr/pw
