Looks like they have both a surplus army tent and a complete field kitchen loaded up on that roof rack. I bet that was fun to drive into a headwind. _________________ 1960 Ragtop w/Semaphores "Inga" |

Exactly, I bet that was a hell of a load to push down the road with a 36er. _________________ WANTED: Henry Veale Santa Rosa plate frames

Can this be an Australian-built Beetle in foreground? It does not appear to have the Aussie-typical right hand drive (RHD) nor is there a right side exterior mirror, but the taillamps are mounted slightly low and seem too small for German-style '62+ ones. Were Aussie-built Beetles exclusively RHD? Are those black license plates typical of early '60's Australia?
Size comparison of non-Aussie assembly to German type one, also showing that the amber turn signal portion of the lens is about half the height of the entire lens. |

Maico in front row at far left, 2 BMW 600, ugly Wartburg sedan in center background (door open), Fiat 600/770 (front row, suicide doors?), Fiat 500 (back row far right), Renault 4 (2 cars to right of Type 2; production started 1961 to help date photo; as well as most Beetles still having snowflake taillamps), DKW or Auto Union, Lloyd; big BMW "baroque angel" 501. Several Opel models, and a Ford Taunus P1 "globe" to the right of the 501.

Look closely at the rocker covers on the pump, although it could be Porsche. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here
Stop dead photo links! Post your photos to The Samba Gallery!
