whats the story with the other Bugs, did they find owners too..? Terry I dig the late model rag next to your car in the pic. The late model rag isn't a late model, it's an early car made to look like a late model. It has early popouts, and small windows. Looks to be a 60 to 63. I can't see the door handles very well, but they look like 60 plus door handles

My birth certificate came in yesterday & i was surprised to see that it was delivered to Mannheim, Germany & had all US equipment (MPH speedo etc.). More than likely it may have been purchased by a service man while stationed in Germany, and then shipped back over to the U.S.

So, i noticed these little holes in the side of my 58.... It looked to me like a badge was mounted there at some point. I looked up "Mannheim dealers" & found tons of different auto sales dealers in the area. Then, i searched the classified's on thesamba & found this.... Not sure if that is the excact badge or dealer it was delivered to, but the holes line up perfectly.

Very nice beetles my friend! I just got my 58 running today, and drove it for the first time (well just around the parking lot in 1st gear). Anyway, my 36hp isn't even close to being ready so i put in a 12 volt 40horse to run temporarily .
