Been collecting/hording VW stuff for a few years, finally
got around to doing something with some stuff that has
been in boxes for way too long. A sheild/shrine to all
things VW?!

Have made provision for a set of LEDs to go in behind and
yes she thinks I'm nuts!

Bet "she" isn't the only one...😂

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Hoping someone out there may know where I could get
some rubbers for the two earlier tail lights at the top?

Thought I may as well share this as well, I kind boss lady even
lets this one in the house, all be it out on the veranda! Be keen
to hear if anyone can shed some light (sorry) on the 50/50
tail lights? I vaguely remember reading somewhere they where
only on Aussie Beetles in 1961, is this correct?

Thanks.........

The 50-50 tail lights were introduced on Australian Beetles in June 1960. They were used until the 1962-and-a-half model came out in June 1962, which had the more familiar 3-segment tail light.

They were first produced by the Wolfsburg factory in late 1959 (1960 model) for German-made Beetles exported to Italy. The Australian factory soon picked up this particular improvement, and had them made here for our production line.
