rjluna2 ◊ 2018-08-27 13:57	Are we talking about Volkswagen Cabriolet here?
Ingo ◊ 2018-08-27 14:02	a wannabe KdF-Wagen Cabriolet

tore-40 ◊ 2018-08-27 16:20	If US model, a 1956-57 (towel rails 1956, top mounted indicators 1958) These older style indicators also seen on some European cars, IIRC the Dutch market used them. Towel rails were optional (called Amerikabügel in D?)

tore-40 ◊ 2018-08-28 14:11	Alternative facts? At least the rear view verifies an older decklid (last MY is 1957) and correct taillights for 1956-57 (model years mentioned above)
