Did the 54 oval have a rear shelf behind the seat? Need reference pics or links, even better links to buy one (pref in UK).

You show me yours and I’ll not show you mine - as it doesn’t have one Wink

Thanks but meant the shelf that goes behind the rear seat - if there is such a thing to fill the gap between the seat and back window. Like a ledge or similar, seen the m made of fibreboard. Can see there’s one on the 58- but unsure if they do one on 54.

The parcel shelf is a Kamei accessory from the 1950s. I'm sure there were other suppliers as well. They are rare in the U.S.

Again, does this refer to the parcel shelf under the dash? I am looking for a rear shelf - goes behind the rear seat - if there was such aa thing in 54 beetle. Can only find a repro for 58+ year

And that is fibreglass, so dont want to buy it, if wrong shape etc.

The Kamei was made of birch veneer and covered the area behind the rear seat. It was installed in a home-market '58 Beetle.
