Ovals on the road?
Hi,
Is there anyway we can figure out how many oval window beetles are out there still registered and in use and the years of each?
Like in the uk they can tell you via some sort of data base check.
Anyway I have a 54 as a daily driver. Thats one.
Thanks

maybe put up a voting thingy at the top of the thread like 53,54,55 etc
one line/lot saying - road regoed, and a second line/one saying - shed resto
that will give a quick snapshot as to numbers

I know there's none to 68 but does the lack of collapsible steering column bother any body?

It's the lack of style that bothers me about anything post '68.

If you have a head on with a truck, its fair to say even with a collapsable steering column, you are going to be in a WORLD of pain anyway!!!

Lack of anything bothers me like you wouldn't believe, think I'll park the wench till I can get a crumple rate on the f/glass, at least the doors
wont jam.
