If the OG paint is L346, you have a '60. Was it built in August or later?

Showing on the Wolfsburg West Charts as a '60 color. Link attached. Steering wheel and handbrake not shown for color as in other years. Silver beige L466 is a standard later color for the wheel and handbrake. Would look nice with the L 466

Actually, that was from September 1959 - the charts show the last unit made per month, so August ended at 2574497.
So... 1960 model. That's the year they went to the dished steering wheel and the pushbutton exterior door handles. Is that what you have?
Car of the Century book lists these colors:
Steering Wheel, Turn Signal Switch, Steering Column, Gear Shift Lever, Hand brake Lever, Seat Frames and the support under the back seat - all painted L471 Stone Beige (was the same for all 1960 Deluxes regardless of body color) |
