Here's one for Tom.
Postal Beetle.

I <3 LOVE it!
Note: interesting dual mirrors bolted into the tops of the front fenders.
Muddy boots? And older all black license plates (pre 1957) for sure a pre 1956 Beetle.
Yes, these vehicles got used very very well, driven into the ground sort to speak.
Very few survived postal service and those that did were offered later to Bundespost employees in private auction.
Now maybe less than 5 cars still exist, I know that the Family Grundmann have a Postal Oval someplace.....
Hey Baron, thanks for the photo!
