Original centre armrest in backseat of Superbeetle

[Tim Donahoe]

When the Beetle's specifications were first requested (by you-know-who), the car was supposed to seat two adults in the front--and two children in the back.

So, in the initial planning, the bug's legroom for those sitting in the back, was not much of an issue back in the 1930s.

Although, back then, no one expected our kids to live with us until they were in their mid-thirties.

Does a type 3 back seat fit in a soper beetle then ?

The center arms rest for the rear set was an accessory for the 1302 and 1303 models. It wasn't taken from any other model. A 1302 and 1303 were Super Beetle models seen in Europe. I don't know if this model number was exported to the USA or Canada,
