<x-charset iso-8859-1>You are correct sir. I think what people here in the US confuse on the 65 T3 is that more than likley its Canadian in origin. My understanding is that the side marker was dropped in 65 on Canadian market cars. Hence the 65 with no markers. My 65 square in the backyard has no side markers as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Glen" <simonglen@bigpond.com> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 1:54 PM Subject: Re: [T3] '65 1500s Trim > I thought that no VW Type3s were officially imported into the USA > until the 1966 models ???
