WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Just would like to hear thoughts about this~!
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Volkswagen-VW-Old-Advertising-Sign-Beetle_W0QQitemZ170...
FAKE??~ since 1925?, I Have read that there where similar concepts, but porsche became involved about 1933 for the vw is this right!
The speell, just seems over the top & I learned techniques @ school, to make things look old, rust, the lettering just looks wrong. the 3 listed are
all identical in appearance!??
Its cool as a repo, just needs to be said without the bs!!or is it legit!
thoughts~ cheers

I always keep a 1925 prototype tucked away in a barn somewhere, just in case of a cash shortage.
If you can't fix it with a hammer,
you have an electrical problem....

PS, see you Saturday Sime.

yeah you would think that going to all that trouble they would get their dates right. Just had a look at his other items, kombi, monaro and an EK,
and guess what they're all original and rare. I suppose some people will believe anything. I used to make aged repro signs a long time ago and used
to sell them at swaps and rod shows, but i would never try to pass them off as original. Phil
