RE: [T3] '65 1500s Trim


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Well, that is a confusing issue.  The Type 34 was never officially sold in
the United States, but it was possible to purchase the car with USA
equipment (laminated non-hardened glass windshield, solid red rear lenses,
sealed beam headlamps).  I would expect the other models would have also
been available with USA equipment for the people who would purchase the
"larger" Volkswagen while living overseas and desire to bring them home as a
souvenier of their trip/stay abroad.

I thought that no VW Type3s were officially imported into the USA
until the 1966 models ???  So, my understanding is that there were no
VW 1500S models built to US-specs, neither notchback or squareback.
