VW original Road tests
mczaf666 - February 1st, 2010 at 06:10 PM

Gday,

I have just picked up 300 early hot rod and wheels magazines from 1958 to 1975.....all mint condition and are a great read.....

The first few I have gone thru have the original tests on the 1965 1600 fastback & bug, 1600 tl fast back 1966, stick shift 1500 bug 1968, 4 car wagon comparo vw 1600, fiat 124, renault 16, and mazda 1500, 1972 vw 1300 bug..............to name a few.

Out side of the vdubs they are a great read and what we could have had in the past to what they are worth now is insane.....

If you are interested in any of the vw tests I will scan and put up on the forum....just reply and I will get the model etc that you are after..and even if not vw let me know the car model etc and I can see if its in the collection...

Attached is a sample

I have the 56 issue with the beetle road test. The best thing about these old mags are the ads.
