Jerome posted it on page one but it was photobucket illegible until he added the same pictures to the gallery. So understandably you did miss it.
2nd July 1959 is the date, and your assumptions about the dash top therefore are valid. I've updated his original post so it links the "nice" picture.
I'm with Dave having low regard for Photobucket.

Grab handle should be painted body color with the center covered in the same vinyl as the seats.

Hi Braukuche
Thanks for that. Now I can move forward on yet another small step on this project.

No problem Dave.
BTW there's a guy on the Samba who sells the rubber gaskets for the handles. I think he advertises in the Ghia classifieds. I bought a set, they fit nice.

That is a beautiful car. Amazing survivor. So increible to see how well the interior has survived. I bet you don't see too many Low Lights in Quebec. Where are you in Quebec. I'm in Vermont but I come from Thetford Mines, Quebec.
