There are some 50 year old ones about now, so there should be still some left in another 50 years. 🙂

If the truth be known... the Mexican Beetles are NOT the Quality of the VWs We are driving Now.... The Mexican Beetles were sold in the philippines , and I was told that they are virtually worthless used, as they rust very badly, and the quality is just NOT there... they DO look great though.....:o:thumb:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce
