1955 Oval door Question

mdarng · Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 6:34 pm Post subject: 1955 Oval door Question

I have been reading a lot of posts on oval beetles trying to learn as much as possible about them before I buy. I keep reading a reference to correct ribbed doors. What does this reference mean? How do they differ fron any other beetle door?
Thanks

This should give you a good idea. The ribbed door is on the left and the term refers to the raised area around where the upholstered door panel goes.

Thank you, that's very clear to understand now.
