Just as a matter interest, there is a company in Oklahoma which imports brand
new air-cooled Type 11 Beetles from Mexico.  They separate everything from the
floorpan and re-install it on an old floorpan previously registered in USA.
For example, if you go to tham with a '68 Beetle, they will give you a brand
new 2001 model Mexican Beetle but on your old '68 floorpan.  See:

It is a pity Type 3s are not still made somewhere else?  Or, is it?
