I thought this old chestnut belonged in the urban myths category?

It is in the catagory of "Hyundai makes good cars"

Spin any hubcap & you see jack sh!t.

But the swaztika on the early hubcaps is real enough.
The Volkswagen was, after all, commissioned by the nazi's

TextTextRedAll I know is the old ones have indicators with a farmilliar solluting action. and are a sort of mobile gas chamber

I don't think even Hitler would have thought of producing a VW sign to look like a Swaztika when spinning.... and certainly NOT Porsche Himself.... It IS ILLEGAL to have anything with a SWAZTIKA on it in Germany with a mandatory Jail term... so I was told by the curator of the War Museum in URALLA [I think] He has many of them on Display including genuine flags etc.... He rides a genuine War BMW motorbike & sidecar in German war colours... So there wouldn't be anyone driving around with Swaztika hubcaps in Germany.....:o:o:o:bounce
