That's cool. VW38 number 16. For all of those who complained about the front fender shape around the headlights on number 6, this movie shows how accurate their recreation really was.

This has been linked to before.
I like how you never hear the engine. The KdF must have been electric.

Cool video with interesting details. Does anyone recognize the radio in the dash?

low brau see this topic https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=545344&start=0
I presume the flying V stands for volkempfanger. this is often translated as 'peoples radio' but it actually means 'peoples receiver' which indicates the more sinister nature of the device as it broadcast propaganda

I don't know if they were all like this but, wouldn't it be considered a "rollback" not just a ragtop?
Anyway, cool film!
