I have an early to mid, (could someone verify that for me? vin # 366040111) '66 square that I bought from the original owner and it has no insignia on the rear decklid. I asked her if that was the way it came, or if she had it replŠ G he said that it is the original one, and some early pictures she has of the car show this. I also have two owners manuals, one that came with the car, and a later '66 version. The earlier one has "VW1600" written in a newer style script on it's decklid, and the later one just has "VOLKSWAGEN". I wonder if VW hadn't quite figured out what the rear script was going to be on the U.S. export models at this time. I believe most, if not all Type 3's imported to the U.S. had the 1600 with dual carbs until F.I., which means there was no reason for the "S". I have also seen an "N" model as opposed to the "S" model too. I believe that is the stripped down version of the earlier models. This isn't all quite relevant to the mysterious decklid question originally asked, but thats just my $.03 . ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
