Great looking beetle Julian.
Reminds me of my first car, it was a beetle, but I can't remember what year, I think it was late 60's. I remember it used to leak oil, but it was very reliable. I notice the alignment of the rear wheels how they angled in as shown in your photo. |

58 was the first year with the big rear window.
Still 6 volt system? Very cool and a canvas sunroof. |
