This is a photo of my Dad's brand new '59 Beetle, check out all the accessories he had fitted at the dealer before he picked it up. My old man is a bit of a gadget man!
Side stripe
Scratch plates
Steel sunvisor
Weathershield
Driving lights
Dress rims
Radio with rear speaker!
and not seen trip speedo and fuel gauge.

is this on the road in sydney? i spotted a beetle with that exact colour scheme in petersham around 5.20 this afternoon

Madness! I am guessing it is long gone or ... ?

Dad sold it in 1960 to a friend, he had it for years then sold it on. I ran the rego number 10 years ago and they were no longer on the car.

It looks like my Dads FB Holden, only a Bug, all the same accessories..........Very Australian
Cool Pic....:thumb

very nice pic dave. my 62 was very similar with the chrome up the side. My great grandfather bought it new in 62 it was turquise and white but looking at the photo reminds me of an old photo I have of the way mine looked. memories!!!!
