Helmut ◊ 2009-07-25 00:21	Spot on rjluna2! We'd need the colour code to identify the exact year. From Düsseldorf (former British sector)
Ingo ◊ 2009-07-25 18:48	Not really, the combination of details (lamps, hood, trims, window-sizes, dashboard) etc. are helpful either. Unfortunately here is not too much so see. Even not, if the semaphores are still there. From the outest part of the Rhine-Area. Fortunately enough far away from the unbeloved Düsseldorf-made beer.

DynaMike ◊ 2009-07-27 17:27	When the Beetle got the bigger rear window it also got a slightly bigger windscreen. I think the windscreen here is of that bigger type, but I'm not really sure. The taillights were used from 1956 until 1961. Anyway, it was called Sun-Roof Sedan 'Beetle' in USA.
sixcyl ◊ 2009-07-27 18:03	I agree with Mike, height of windscreen and quite narrow A-pillar would indicate a post 1956 model, therefore a 1957 with big rear window. So I vote for a VW Sedan 1957
DynaMike ◊ 2009-07-27 18:25	Actually the bigger windows came in August 1957, so model year 1958
