I have never heard of any single color deluxes other than the few Lotus White 65-67 deluxes. Was yours originally one color? |

There are a few single color 23's out there-there's a ribbed bumper postal yellow 23 on the west coast, a sage blue ribbed bumper 23 that was for sale a while back & a dove blue 23 in AZ somewhere... _________________ 1960 L31 M183 kombi |

They are not common.
There are a few other ones out there.
There is a guy on the site with one but I don't think he has ever posted photos because he wants it to remain private.
I have this seen this postcard:

Simply stunning! And it's parked about 15 miles from my place, so I get to visit it and drool off and on...

This bus just looks like a crappy respray inside and out. I don't think it was white or single tone. SWR can be seen coming thru and it shows signs of a previous restoration. |

Here is a 1960 that came out of tulsa area. It has cargo door wedges just like the one on the vw post card. I'd like to know where the pic was taken of the one on the post card. |
