You never know what you'll see at a car show

I'm wondering if this Jetta was previously owned by a FAQ'R

Unusual multiple carb set-up under the hood

Nice base paint job here - the graphics are...well

Interesting color coordination on this old KDF hubcap

I've never been interested in the "really rusty" VW look - this Type II was for sale

The owner of this Notchback said the roof had 21 coats of metallic paint. The bottom color is from an Audi A3. He was using a VW/Audi touch-up pen when I stopped by

.

I guess these lights are being used as his bumper guard guards.

Ace race-car mechanic?

WHAT YEAR CAR WAS THE ONE WITH THE GEAR & FLAGS HUBCAP ?

THE CAP IS A VERY EARLY DESIGN AND I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO

BLINKER ON THE FENDER SO THAT SAYS PRE-1955 TO ME .

WAS IT A SPLIT WINDOW CAR OR AN OVAL ?

SOMETIMES THESE THINGS COME ALONG AS AN ODD MIXTURE OF PARTS .

I SAW A KARMANN GHIAS WHEN I WAS ION BRAZIL THAT HAD MIS-MATCHED

LIGHTS BUMPERS , DASH AND DOOR HANDLES .

THEY SAID IT WAS BUILT THAT WAY . THE HOOD EMBLEM SAID VW-SAO PAULO !

APPARENTLY THEY DID BUILD SOME FROM LEFT OVER GERMAN PARTS .

THEY ALSO MADE THE K-GHIA TC FASTBACK THAT WAS UNIQUE TO THEIR COUNTRY .

NONE OF THE NORMAL RULES TO DATE VW's SEEM TO APPLY THERE .

THEY MADE SPLIT WINDSHIELD BUSSES UP UNTIL 1974 AND STILL BUILD

BAY WINDOW BUSSES ( THE NEW ONES ARE WATER COOLED )

I SAW A BAY BUS WITH THREE HINGED DOORS ON EACH SIDE . THEY WERE BUILT FOR USE AS A TAXI .

According to some of my books, the Wolfsburg Crest Hood emblem (above the grab handle) was used between 1951 to 1962 Model year Beetles. Note the round overrider holes in the front apron. These bumpers were used from 1955-1967.

I've never seen those hubcaps before. I believe those are "flying swastica" emblems. Here is one I found on another website.
