Bonnascope ◊ 2015-08-26 13:21	Another capture:
tore-40 ◊ 2015-08-26 20:44	With these taillights and the oval rear window a 1956-57, yes, but missing the front indicators so not made for U.S.
TheCarson116 ◊ 2016-12-02 16:51	This kinda reminds me of that scene in the 1968 The Love Bug movie, where two teens in a hot rod taunt Herbie, and Herbie ends up outracing them! Except of course this one has different bumpers and is a '56 rather than a '63, but it still reminds me of that scene. Anyone else that was reminded?

Gamer ◊ 2016-12-02 17:08	I imagined those were all imports.
Lateef ◊ 2016-12-02 17:13	Then they wouldn't have had the made for USA tag.
TheCarson116 ◊ 2016-12-02 22:31	And I just discovered that the car seen on the right side of this Beetle is a Ford Model T, (or at least based on one) while the car that Herbie races in The Love Bug is also based on a Ford Model T!
