Hi all, I would like to print the 1967 Beetle owner's manual in its original size to keep in the glovebox. I see the images (link below) on TheSamba but I don't know the correct size.

Would anyone be able to measure the height and width of their manual?

Thanks in advance.

My original 1966 manual is 5-5/8” x 8”.

Thank you very much for measuring and posting the size! 67 manual however is in landscape orientation, meaning that the width is more than the height.

^ Yes landscape is correct for 1967


You can find used ones??

Place a want ad. Im sure someone has one that they will spare for less than 30 bucks.

I just measured mine. Landscape format, for sure.

5 7/8" high, by 8 1/4" long. Hope it helps if you can't find a used one...
