Doc. I think the 56 is different to the one's youve got bud.
Correct me if I'm wrong anyone,but the 56 Popes nose has a sorta pointy ridge in the centre that runs up to meet the decklid (I was recently told this),yours is later and doesnt have the ridge in it.
Note the 'dent' at the top of nose. Cant really see the ridge in it though

THE POPE'S NOSE LICENCE PLATE LAMP WAS ONLY EARLY BEETLES WITHOUT STOP LIGHTS IN THE TAIL LIGHTS..benny72 wrote:Looking for 56 popes nose 'reed green' in colour - must be OG paint but any condition fine.
THE STOP LIGHT WAS IN THE POPE'S NOSE ..
SO IT GLOWED RED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED...
THAT IS WHY IT WAS CALLED A POPE'S NOSE...
BECAUSE IT GLOWED RED....
IT WAS USED UNTIL OCTOBER 1952 ...
WHEN THE TAIL LIGHTS HAD STOP LIGHTS COMBINED...

Yeah Matt, like IRS does to me.😂
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

the lense under this was a flat piece of plastic... from memory..Wannavee wrote:Doc. I think the 56 is different to the one's youve got bud.

and the ridge would fit the "W" engine cover... [at a guess]
