Gotcha covered, from Dec. 2021. Here are a few more shots from my gallery (again)-
Some notes: The Engine 51 emergency team work to get a trapped driver (Ronnie Schell) out of his black Beetle. Barely visible are what appear to be 1966 slotted wheels, but the steering wheel is white (thru '65), and the driver's front blinker lens is clear vs the right front which is amber. |

^ Just skimmed thru it on YouTube.
Yet the oval window Beetle has the '62 style 2-chamber Beetle taillamps and accessory chromed taillamp housings, and the 23-window Deluxe splittie has the large '62 taillamps!  |
