 I now have a cargo carrier and trailer hitch on my 1955 Oval window. Soon, 
 I'll have the same on my Type 3 pickup.
 
 Both are designed to haul my electric scooter to bug-in's. I got the one for 
 my Oval window custom-made at Joe's Hitches in Plano, Texas. The hitch is 
 made to go onto
 the middle part of the engine. It has a "Y" in it and the back part is 
bolted 
 to a bar that the installer placed  between the two bumper braces. The 
fellow 
 who built it took enough care to make sure that I could open the decklid. 
The 
 scooter is held in place via two Bungee cords plus a third to keep the 
 handlebars in place. The scooter weighs 48 lbs. and the hitch weighs about 
60 
 lbs. The cargo carrier is removable by
 removing a pin and slipping it out the 1-1/4" receiver.
 
 I noticed that almost everyone stopped a full car length behind me.
