Very Happy Nice car! As time goes by I like '58/'59's more and more! They may not have the cool factor that splits and ovals have, but they are some of the best VW's out there! Very Happy

...I am looking for photographs of a Glacier Blue '58 bug. I looked in theSamba paint/upholstery section under Technical and this is what I came up with.....
Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

....not very helpful! This looks more like Turquoise to me. Anyone have good photos of a Glacier Blue VW? If so, could you please post them or send me some. Thanks. Also, I wonder why the paint/upholstery section has such lousy photographs....it seems like there are plenty of owners that could send in quality photos to make the paint/upholstery section more helpful.

If anyone has better links to use there for ANY color, PM or email me links to entries in the Gallery on this site. We used what we could find at the time, with some updates over time if people contacted me or I happen to catch one posted in the Gallery and think of it.

For Glacier Blue, here's a Gallery search with some photos that are probably better
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_search.php?search_keywords=Glacier+Blue
If anyone has an opinion on which photo(s) are the best and are the correct color to use as a link from the Paint page, please PM me.
(I just added a few from the car there that is original paint)

Thanks Everett. It seems that anyone with a good specimen of a car color or upholstery, would be glad to send in a pic they have to help the rest of us make decisions and find out what is/isn't correct. Very Happy
