Hey, I have a very nice book, Norwegian called "The history of the peoples car" which begins with all different tries to make an affordable car for the masses, but evolves into a VERY VW centered book :-) It is published in late 1967 (there is even a pic of the "new" 1968 Bug and Bus), and contains many nice pics, and sîŸ; s, among others, all production numbers for types 1,2&3 up through 1966. These numbers are even displayed year by year! So, these are the numbers, by year: 1961 0000001 - 0002061 1962 0002062 - 0094815 1963 0094816 - 0257228 1964 0257229 - 0483592 1965 315000001 - 315220701 1966 316000001 - 316316238 1967 317000001 - As a side note, it says that the model year is counted starting August 1st - July 30th, starting in 1960, E.G. the production number 2062 is produced August 1st 1961. This would of course make the T3D car a 1962 indeed! There is also another table, that shows output by calendar year: 1961 10663 1962 127324 1963 181809 1964 262020 1965 261915 1966 311701 NOTE: These are by calendar year!! Also 2 nice pics of some Type3s at the production line etc., one where the finished cars roll off the line, another of a line of Fastys, almost complete body, but w/o floorpan! Other photos include some promo shots, and a nice pic from a car show in 1965, with a nice fasty and Ghia (T3 of course) in the foreground, and some bug and an Audi in the background. This book also contains the production numbers for the Type1 1940-1966 and Type2 1950-1966. Let me know if these are interesting. PerL 73 Wagon Btw, Big Al, it would make me happy if you want to include this info on your site! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
