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 _________________ Shibby till ya can't go on |

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. _________________ Shibby till ya can't go on |

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. _________________ Thanks,

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. _________________ Shibby till ya can't go on |

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