Some people think they stopped making beetles after 1957. Some people think they stopped making buses in March 55, or August 58, or August 63, or July 67.
Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life. |

From the back, it looks like a beetle melted into a wax Ghia. I never saw the vertical headlight treatment before. Interesting. _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far

The windshield squirters tie the whole package together, obviously a professional design!
I'm interested in what else is in that yard, looks very "interesting". _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

Those "squirters" look a lot like the gas cap on my old R90. Maybe dual gas caps? _________________ Confusious say it takes it takes two wipes to know you need three, but it takes three wipes to know it only needed two. |

amazing that their craftmanship can be good while their eye for styling was so far out of whack...  _________________ "we're here on Earth to fart around" kurt vonnegut

Thanks to my Tesla driving neighbors, I feel more relaxed driving my SUBURBAN and old VW's.
