What year is my beetle?
I've just bought a beetle which the owner said is a 1959' and I'd like to confirm it.
The chassis no is 2658414.
Could anyone give me some direction on this?
Cheers Chris

Yes Joel, it's has semaphores. Summer blue in colour.
How do I tell which engine is in it? It's a single port, apparently the original engine.
Thanx.

It should be a 36hp if its the original engine, was the last year of them.
The generator stand is part of the case, the later ones are a seperate bolt on item.
The engine number is stamped on the generator stand just below the gen.

Any chance of some pics ?
My Dad had a 59 Summer Blue back in the day... seeing something similar could bring back some good memories for him I'd think.
