I'm not sure why there isn't a section to post pics of your specific color and model so I'll start one for a white Bug. Let's see what you have and interior pics would be cool too. I have a white 65 and am deciding on upholstery and would like to see some different combos. Thanks!
Here's a pic of mine when I bought it about a month ago. Getting ready to do a repaint of the Pearl White and all the interior.

Here's my '63 Pearl White, with a respray in the '70's. Had the standard brick red (salmon) interior, but I just swapped it for the Water Blue.

They're 215 60 R15's on 6 inch barrels. Stock smoothie centers but I reversed the barrels so that the inside face out ( the original "out" had that extra "step" in it. Thanks man. |

| Some really nice rides. Just wondering if anyone has pics of different interior combos as well. Also, I'd like some opinions if you don't mind??? I just got back from Jbugs and picked up an interior kit. I went with the basic, least expensive route and wanted what was in stock. My choices were limited, but I'm cool with it. Basically I was torn between black or the off white so I got some of both. I got off white upholstery for the seats and headliner and then black door panels, arm rests and carpet. I think it'll look good, but I'm second guessing it a little. Any opinions or visual aids out there? |

| That last pic of the "true red" interior is what my 62 came with stock. I think I'll be going back to that. As far as the black and white goes, I don't know..I may have just used all black or all white door pannels and seats, with black carpet either way. Thats just me though.. it may look great, I've just not had the chance to see one like it. |
