I was thinking the photo composition might look better with a red sunroof in the beetle. _________________ nothing |

I wonder if that is a India Rd bug?? I had a 60 the same color that had a off-white or cream colored sunroof cover when I bought it. I often wondered what would have been the factory ragtop color I put a reproduction Black one on it, those were the Pre-Samba days and finding information was almost impossible. It is a one VW that I have owned over the years that I would truly wish I would have kept.
