Hi
Your 64 Left Hand Drive beetle has the wipers parking on the Right as the 64 Australian Made beetles did but they were RHD

I thought Your wipers would park on the LHS [LEFT]

Your front blinker lights are the early narrow ones..
they were the wide ones in Australia in 1964...

Very nice looking beetle... EXCELLENT...

My apologies...

I thought it may be too difficult..

is Your 1964 beetle same as it left the factory...?
and was it made in BRasil?

noticed those door handle window winder alloy pieces...

excellent... never seen those before...

It is exactly that was in 64 , less wheels
