Earlier taillights on a later car? The decklid has slots from later year.
Maybe those walking away are stock-nazis and refused to help. |

Note the early style vent window in the open driver's door -- could be an earlier car with a late decklid, or, my theory is it's a Basilian made Fusca. _________________ 1960 Ragtop w/Semaphores "Inga" |

Not al Bugs are United States Market. Different markets changed certain aspects at different times.
If this WAS a US market Bug, it would be a confused car. _________________ Richard

Spot on, an Austin A40. I'm the one to know because my father owned one, so as a kid I've spent a lot of hours on the back seat of that A40. _________________ a beetle is like a cocker spaniel, always funny but sometimes not listening |
