They were sold through the J.C. Whitney catalog as replacement hubcaps.
They didn't have permission to use the correct VW logo ,so they used the V instead.
Look in the middle of the page and you'll see the ad.

I like the '71 bumper conversion for early beetles at the bottom of the JCW ad! Now that would be a rare accessory!

I recently saw a '63 vert that had all the bumpers, fenders and decklid off of a '70 beetle. I didn't even realize it was an earlier car until the owner pointed it out to me. it was disgusting.

But that's the way things were back then. We always tried to make our cars look as new as possible.  |

Like removing the center split on the back window to make it look like an oval

What I mean is that the special hardware to adapt the late bumpers to the early mount would fall into the "rarest of the rare" category now.
Not that you would actually want to run it... |

You know we people still do that sort of stuff today. You know, change to a different pair of rims. Put a later model "kit" on the car. Upgrade this that or the other thing to a better virgin. I see it now already with my A1s. People want the chromed door handles now for example. My A1 hot rod ditched all that stuff in favor of the mono chromatic look. I shudda kept my 79 a bone stock diesel instead of turning into a Euro looker GTI. Who would have thunk it back then to keep a Rabbit bone stock. So the person with the uprated 63 is not that evil. You may not know it, but there was a time when it was (almost) not possible to find certain items. So what the heck, just put later parts on, it makes it look newer and hence (in some minds) better. It is not disgusting, it was what was done, same as always.

Ohhh.....I think a can of worms is about to get opened.... IMO, if it is old from the 50's, 60's etc, then it is still NOS.
Is a NOS Hazet Tourist toolbox, not NOS because it wasn't sold through VW? I say it is NOS. |

New Old Stock can be sold by anybody. If it is new(not used) old (produced back when) stock(hasn't been sold before).
It doesn't have to VW items. |
