There is a small write up on the history of VW. I found it in the Business section of the CNN website today.
It has quite a few old pics. |
Gee, CNN, wonder what they twisted about the VW history. Is there a link? |

I purchased this 1965 type 1 from the original owner about 15 years ago. A few original documents came with the car along with this photo right off the dealer lot. What a great reference photo for this car. It is an all matching numbers car bought in San Diego. This is a very solid car that still gets driven at local cruise nights.

Does it have beauty rings or are those slotted wheels?
Edit; Looks like Beauty rings but they look weird for some reason
