Hello, my name is Romain, I am French, and here is my First car and my first beetle, an August 60' Swedish DeLuxe in OG paint L390 Gulf Blue on american eagles wheels.
I have the certificate of authenticity issued by the Volkswagen Automuseum and period documentation. The car is in excellent condition except some gearbox problems.. And the interior is not the original..

| That looks like a Grubenwerks front beam, they were made in Sweden, now defunct. I have one on my -59. Yours look like mine, 3 inches narrowed, about as narrow as you can get and still keep the shock towers, delrin bushings in the ends of the beam tubes. |

Great!! Thank you very much for the information, it's highly possible because my bug is a Swedish at the base, I will try to find information about Grubenwerks!  |
