Did you know that all the Porsche 911s have 2 short pieces of BLACK welting at

the lower corners of their windshields? For some reason megabucks Porsche made the decision to use black welting regardless of paint color, while frugal VW created color matched welting sets for each and every car they made. Never made sense to me....

VW did come to their senses, but only when production was so low that the costs of making colored welting wasnt justifiable. All Beetles used black welting from 1974 or 75 (cant remember which year).



What's an FX4? Were they all black?


It's the good old London Taxi. Surely you must have at least seen a picture of one, or seen one in a movie or on TV.

I just wonder, why is the welting necessary? All newer cars do without them!
