the picture of the car in the center has 43006 for it's plate. I wonder if that means they have determined that the Lithuanian car is number 6?

The car was also featured in a series called American Muscle Car: The Last Stingray on SpeedTV which told the history of the last C-2 'Vette.

It was a great show about the last sting ray and the restoration.
Sold at barret jackson for $600,000

watch it on http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LH1D16/ref=atv_dp_series?ie=UTF8&redirect=true

There should be a show on the vw38 !

The man has a W30 chassis ready to receive a body, so this title is secured!

Is the 43006 car the same car in this thread?

The car with the 6 on the numberplate is just an example how a 1938 looks like. After cleaning off all the paint and bondo, Christian found a hidden number inside the front-hood. This should be the body-number, but before we did it offiicial, Christian is trying to find out the meaning of this number.

Wow, that is great! I love how everytime something new and great comes up! Care to share the number? Any pictures?

Keep it coming!

Love the site by the way just be sure to give as much information and details as possible. It can never be too much! :D

I am glued to this post. I check it every few hours. I am excited to see the progress. I am sure with enough research, an original picture of the car could be found, given the limited number of VW38's made.

good idea, but you should check the new VW38.de website as well, things are developing rapidly:

I checked out the pics on that site. WOW, Looks like i will be checking that one regularly for photos, and the Samba for comments.

I'm a German teacher here in the USA, and I'd be happy to help translate the site if need be!

<--- Big fan of this story!

Cool to see it got a split window again.

But I worry a bit if all can be done with that speed in a ´38 matching way.

Tue May 12, 2009 7:02 pm

Christian will do this right, I wouldn't worry.

A variation on our departed Maestro...Keep the '38 faith:)

I don't think they will use those heater channels for '38?

Tue May 12, 2009 11:20 pm

I'm completely awe struck at the progress that's been made! Is that chassis the 38's chassis? I got a little lost between that and it being on the Volga Chassis...Great work though! I even follow this thread when I'm at school :lol:

Didn't the 38's have 24 vents per side below the rear windows rather 21 per side?
