Very interesting. I like it, but it is a repro. They were never made with plastic or glass. |
I like it too.......see if you can find out anything about it. _________________ "What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away." Dobee, Dobee, Do |

I live the "real ugly original version" the best, it's simple, someone with a cnc or waterjet could make it cool by making a new one and replacing the scallops with flames! |

Thank you for the reply. Any way you can repost you photo links? I can't seem to open them or view them.
Thanks |

How about this one? I dont have any reference to what an OG one looks like. The old links to pictures don't work.

There have been a ton of these popping up on EBay lately. I suspect they are all fakes. Many being sold by people who are also selling antique related items. Who the heck is making these things and flooding the market? _________________ My Beetles :

I dont think the originals flared up like that , originals seem to flare down going by IN2VWS pics. |
