Interesting assortment of objects on the conveyor. Looks like a can of something with a brush in it, a seal (engine compartment?), big screwdriver, etc. Maybe the can contains soapy water to help ease the rubber seal into place? _________________ Central Jersey VW Society

"Street Fighter's"
Volkswagens fighting it out in a Stock Sedan or a Sportscar racing class.......ca. 1958/9
(could this be Riverside? Plates look like pre 1963/California ones.
Enjoy!
