My first Beetle was Gunyah grey - bought it new in January, 1960. Around mid 1960, VW made quite a few changes, including the paint colours, and
Gunyah grey was dropped. The paint itself was changed from lacquer to baked enamel, also.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

And early 1960, Dave.
