That document is the original German title for the car. Titles are 
handled a little different than in the US. They get created when the 
car is being produced at the factory and they stay with the car its 
whole life. Interesting side note: The corner has beeen cut off for a 
reason. That's the official way to mark a title as invalidated.

The date on the one page does not necessarily imply a birthdate, I'm 
not sure how early or how late in the production process the titles 
were issued. Birthdate for Karmann Ghias is a little harder to 
determine, anyway, since they went through two factories ;)
