 Certainly both decisions were a great loss to the VW enthusiasts 
 out here. I would particularly love to see a bevy of 341 convertibles 
 on the road to almost anywhere.

Did you see Lee Hedges' fake convertible Type 34 in a recent issue of Hot 
Vw's? It didn't go into issues like the convertible top, but I suspect that 
would be enough for a 
complete article in itself. An ill-fitting deck lid was also a problem. But 
overall I liked
Lee's convertible. I wonder what it would be like to install a Type 14 
convertible top on
a Type 34.

I have one spare 1965 Type 34. I might try it in the future. I think that I 
would try a Type 14 convertible top. Has anyone tried the Type 14 convertible 
top on a Type 34?
The Type 14 convertible top was relatively plentiful.
