antp ◊ 2007-03-08 21:01	I believe that at some time they used that name rather than the number as model?

We have models for the type 1 VW that include: blank, limousine, beetle, kafer, 1200, cabrolet, convertible and baja bug. I don't think that 'beetle' and certainly not 'baja bug' was ever a model name for VW. We have both Limousine and 1200 as model for the same years type 1 cars. I give up
antp ◊ 2007-03-08 22:13	Baja Bug was a name given to these modified Beetle, so I guess that we can keep it. Maybe between quotes. Beetle naming seems quite complicated, I am not sure that it is a good idea to try to solve that
wrenchhead ◊ 2007-03-08 22:22	I agree. Now that I have looked more closely, I certainly don't want to try it. -- Last edit: 2007-03-08 22:22:39
