It's certainly not a good pic but your closer now than you were 5 minutes ago, right?

If I recall correctly, they have sharper/squarer corners than later Buses and the top is shaped somewhat like a peaked roof on a house. I've seen a few in my years but not up close in some time.

Hi, many thanks, I have a load of pics just like this one from searching the interweb etc, as with this pic none of them clearly show a close up of the ashtray :?

Really I could do with a Dlx owner posting a close-up photo of their ashtray.........

why do I get the feeling that if finding a photo of one is this hard then actually tracking down an original one will be mission impossible? :roll: :?

Does anyone have pics of the rear ashtray!!!

Wed Jul 26, 2006 8:08 am

Mr Vega

youre in luck
this is a rear ashtray I have

stampings on the rear are:
1. The part number: 211 857 401A
2. VW logo
3. ‘Hagus’ logo

i presume both rear ashtrays are the same?

anyone know what year these go up until?

so would rear ashtrays part no. 211 857 401A GHE VW stamped be no good??

they look nearly exactly the same? ......anyone?

Wed Jul 26, 2006 5:14 pm

As far as I know they are the same but I don't think a Barndoor would have a 211 part numbered part.

Nice lookin' deluxe in that pic! :wink:

I'm almost positive that both of their Buses has the same ashtrays as later Buses, although I wouldn't be at all surprised if the part number is different or some other minute detail like that. The RHD '54 Deluxe pictured earlier in this thread with the ashtrays circled is John's Bus and it has the regular/later looking ashtrays in it as you can see in the pic.

The 52 Deluxe ash tray as found in the deluxe at Charlie H. is for very early deluxe's the top is the same as the front ash tray or very close. My 52 june built deluxe has the later type that looks just like late post barndoor ash tays but there is no part numbers stamped on the back.
I wonder when they started with the part numbers?
