Update your Oval
So,...
I found this advert whilst reading through an old 1960's VW Mag.
My question is,..
How do you cut that hole without needing to repaint???

LOL, thats hilarious.
Back in the 1950's I suppose there might have been the appeal to give your old car a facelift.
I wonder if they ever sold one?

My Dad worked at a used car dealers back in the early 60s... he swearss he saw Ovals back in the late 58's that had larger windows put in.
Plus there's the "make the rear window larger" ad.

Hi
In the 70s when I started driving bugs, people were always trying to give me Ovals.
I had a 63 Austerity model and I always thought why would I want an older bug, slow motor, no synchro on 1st etc.
One friend wanted me to take away his mums old oval, it had a push button starter
Boy was I dumb.
Steve

was really common in parts of Europe, people are still now finding lots of big window bugs in junkyards there that have oval dashboards lol
its not much different to the guys these days putting VY/VZ front ends on VT commodores, see it all the time
people were just trying to make their bugs look newer, ive seen lots of 60s model bugs fitted with late aprons and decklid/hoods and late bumpers.
Some have even had the crescent vents added in and fuel doors, all 70s and 80s victims I bet.

If you can cut them out and fit a bigger window it goes without saying that you could also fit a piece similar to the cutout into a large window bug
and make it look like an oval or a split.
Seen it done with an oval made to look like a split window.
