Looking for 'Custom' Badge that was found on engine lid of 1960s Beetles (I think!).

Hi
these are probably very rare...

they were on "Custom" Beetles around 1965 approx...
they had "Stainless steel" blade bumpers with no overriders plus many cost cutting features... like
no glovebox lids.. hood lining only in the centre of the roof
but I do believe the customs had chromed hubcaps??
as the standards had every thing painted and looked terrible..

they were similar to the "standard" Beetle which had no badges and no chrome trim... just a thin painted line..
painted hubcaps and quarter window frames and no chrome anywhere. no glovebox lid. everything painted..
hoodlining in the centre of roof only...
but they looked terrible.... IMHO...
I was young back then... and liked the towel rain over riders etc... the deluxe beetles had...
and the chrome....

cheers

anyone got a pic of these at all

i thought they aslo made a "custom" as a "lets flog off the last of the 6V line" in 67 that had no chrome trim across the dash but had a glovebox lid and had either chrome trim on the side or the bonnet but not both, with the standard headliner (centre only) and different seat covers to normal.

whatnow i thought the same thing...
later standards started to get a few things back
i know 64 on ones had the normal chrome stips on the side blank on bonnet tho and a mate had a 66 standard that had a glovebox lid
