|
|
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.
