My May of ‘56 had a sway bar installed. When I found the car, it had been sitting since 1978. Were these sway bars factory installed? Just trying to put together the puzzle. Thank you, Russ _________________ '56 European Oval Ragtop-Stock

All low lights came with sway bars from the factory. Ghias had a specific sway bar that had indents in it, unlike the beetle sway bar that was straight. There is a 57 Ghia parts book in the technical section on the Samba with the owner manuals and it shows the Ghia sway bar in the first section of the book. |

Thank you Loren. I thought so. Jason and I had a brief discussion about it. Just wanted to confirm it wasn’t a later add on. _________________ '56 European Oval Ragtop-Stock
