Okay.

I had thought for years that the Basic Compact must have been a Notchback. 
That's what I generally think of as the most basic of the 4 type 3 models. This 
impression was probably partly due to a very nice light blue late model Notch I 
saw parked along the street in La Jolla, CA in '73-'74. That was probably the 
only notch I had ever seen by that time, and when I came across the "Basic 
Compact" name later on, I guessed that this must have been what VWoA was 
selling under that name.

Looking back, it's clear that this had to be a european car brought in by 
someone, because it had the late style red/amber taillight lenses, and that it 
had nothing to do with the "Basic Compact."
