VIN or month started?? I can't seem to find this info anywhere. The best I can find is that there was an early steel sliding roof panel which was used up to VIN 221 974 which would have been the end of '63. The early Bentley manual has a list of major changes, but it doesn't mention body changes. Beetles came out with the steel sliding roof in '64, but it's clear that VW must have worked out this design on type 3s first. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Shameless link for search engines: http://listarchive.type3.org ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
