Re: [T3] ebay type3 vinyl top???


Finally, I have had a look at the 1966 Type36 squareback for sale on Ebay with
a vinyl roof.  I really don't believe that the vinyl roof is original.  Vinyl
roofs were not "in" during the mid-sixties and didn't really become
fashionable until the early seventies.  The wheels are wrong for 1966 US
models - they are silver whereas 1966 models should be black with rim
embellishers.  Silver wheels only came in with 1970 models.  Also, the only
correct 1966 model hubcap is the right rear one.  The driver's mirror is not
original either.  I wonder what else has been tampered with on this car?
