rjluna2 ◊ 2011-05-28 17:53	Could this have larger taillights?
Ingo ◊ 2011-05-28 17:58	Maybe, but this means not much. The were often replaced. After accidents, or because the old ones give not enough light or because the owner wanted to pimp his VW more modern. For those, there were meant these "back window-changing"-kits. For clear reasons extremely hated by the VW-freaks nowadays

no-a ◊ 2011-05-28 21:38	Should I add this pale blue car on movie page? -- Last edit: 2011-09-04 22:27:43
dsl ◊ 2011-05-28 21:50	Definitely worth adding - it's very unusual A40 convertible, only made as far as I can tell Aug 52-Sept 54.
