Are only barndoor hubcap VW logos Red, or all Br/Red deluxes?
I thought 55-deluxes have black logos, but want to make sure before painting the logos in.

I was talking about Deluxes as I thought that was his question.

Excuse any confusion.

It looks like '57 had black logo hubcaps from this thread
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=56619

So '56 may have been the last of color-matched logos.

Kombi hubcaps could be chrome or light grey, it depends on the year.

And '64-up center logos were not painted at all.

So to confirm, for a 56 and earlier dove blue commercial? Would the correct combo be chrome hubcaps with dove blue logos?

Yes, chrome caps with dove blue logos. Also, they should be early caps with the matte chrome center and the softer edged pressings with the thicker bar between the V and the W.

Excellent details of information and photos to match Lind. How do you know where to find that from 2012 other than your own control panel when it's detail is in a forum of 961 of bus hunting. I'm always amazed and fascinated.
