Re: [T3] T3PBO ... take 2


The 50's beetles sure were cool! I don't remember the 50's, My Mother was
born in 1950 :-)

I love the colours of the times too. The type 3 is pearl white, although I
realy wish it was silver... It may well be soon enough too :-) One of the
new BMW silvers, either titanium (my favourite) or the other slightly blue
one (steel blue??).

The '57 Beetle range had Polar Silver and the '58 light bronze, both
metallics.
I don't know for sure whether diamond green (57 colour) was metallic, but
there
was an enthusiasm for metallics around then, and I persuade my memory that
I've
seen it!  My brother had a 1951 Jowett Javelin in a metallic green so I may
be
fooling myself.  The metallics went out of fashion again until the early
70s.
The 1000000th Beetle was bronze too - there were certainly bronze Ovals
about.
in the mid-50s.

Thanks Alan for that reminder of the '50s.
I reckon we've confirmed that the Type 1 was the first VW in history to get
metallic paint!
