The Australian delivered 1200's came with a book that featured inside some information about both the Deluxe and Standard 1200s.

The Deluxe came with a chrome script/badge that was afixed to bonnet/hood.

There was also a Custom script/badge, but the Custom wasn't featured in the book.

Were there VW Beetle Deluxe or VW Beetle Custom scripts/badges provided by VW in other countries?

Below are photos of the :

"Deluxe" Script/badge
"Custom" Script/badge

canada had the custom model but I'm not sure it had a badge...after all, the point was to keep it cheap with less chrome!

Which years Ken? No evidence of that on my '60 in the original docs.

Well that's handy to know, Custom isn't at the top, its lower down, many thanks.

Hi Merv, I searched the booklet for the years but it didn't give anything away, so I've attached are the front and rear covers of the booklet. I'm presuming 60 or 61 or 62 or 63 as per models shown.

I have a 1965 Euro-German 1200"A" Custom. This car did not come with badges.
A friend owned a 1966 1200 "A" Type 115 Ragtop sunroof. On it's rear deck lid instead of a 1300 sign it said 1200.
