The mystery extra-tall air cleaner looks like it's just a normal '65 beetle unit according to this thread. The photo we were looking at before made it look taller than it is. I added a few photos to my gallery for those that are interested. The part number is 113 129 813C.

The headlights look like standard US spec headlights based on what's in the BD headlight thread. They are date coded 12/54, which would make sense.

Yeah Lb is a reach. Usually they spell out a word. I couldn't find any BD standard examples though.

I hope to check out this bus now that I live in Washington, DC.
Lance, ring me if you want help working on it. |
You live here now?? Woot!!
PM me your number. We can arrange a private viewing.
For everyone else- here's a picture to look at. "Lb" for light beige? Or just scribbles?
