rjluna2 ◊ 2016-09-20 19:28	That will work. It is 1971 Volkswagen, but I can't tell if this is Super Beetle or Sedan 'Beetle' both sold in our market.

rjluna2 ◊ 2016-09-20 20:20	That would work pending upon further identification

(Then 1973-74 Beetle had the wider wheels, back to narrow ones 1975, while 1976-77 hade wider ones again, if brochures are to be trusted. I suspect 1975 info is incorrect)
