That's interesting, because the only other late notch I think I've ever seen was a light blue one also in El Cahon. That was in '73 or '74. At that time I wasn't quite sure what it was, other than a type 3 that I'd never seen before. > Somewhat special because it has the "Heat" package. Engine block heater.

The blankets over the heat exchangers where standard, and I think the rear window defroster was, too, certainly in Canada. The gas heater was probably standard in Canada, but the case heater was installed by the dealer or later. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
