Frank will never get stuck with a dead battery. He's a smart guy! But my friend Pancho with his '57 Chebby will, because like they say, "Chebrolet Chebrolet, pooch it home, let it set"! Ayyyy! 😂

Interesting to see a SUITCASE behind the seat. I was going to buy a MUCH later one, and that had neither the DEPTH for a real suitcase - and certainly not DISTANCE from the rear seat to the back for THREE suitcases! Something MUST have changed! I think the company must have set the rear seat further back, to give more priority to rear passengers' legroom

What a terrific VW! I always prefer the Elderly Models. Seems like these features disappeared later during production. Splits, Ovals, & the Big Windows from ‘58-‘64 had more Character than 1968 & newer. Even the ‘65-‘67’s were Awesome. 😎
@EddyCollins-TZN168Күн бұрын
Yeah, this car seriously has a ton of character. I mean, where are you going to find another one exactly like it. There are definitely some awesome cars out there to be explored. This one just seems to be one of those that “talks to me “

Regarding the theory, that the frosted "RIMS" at the top of the headlights may be left over from earlier ones at the factory - YES, that IS right. Volkswagen used to do just that!

Hey Eddy ! On Rambus 71.the switch don't stay where it belongs ? It works but I do what you showed I grab the box and use my thumb to turn the stick ? But I am use to it , it has been doing it for the last 35 years , Rambus has around 850,000 miles on it and has had 12 motors 9 sets of ball joints 3 sets of axles and when I tell people it has 850 on it I say on some of the parts!

Wow!!!! That’s incredible. Well, I guess by now you are definitely savvy when it comes to using your turn signals.

Who did the work on the sunroof? Did he say “Grumpy”?? I have a three fold WABSTO rag top on a ‘59 SIMCA Aronde that needs some repair.
