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. |

Even the Kombi's had red logo's in 1956 ? _________________ If you don't like the way I drive , stay off the sidewalk . |

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.
