Soup Are they to open them each time you need to look out, because the windows are way to high to see out from the drivers seat and the angled windows are to far forward. If I was a Super Bear I would have it towed as an unsafe vehicle before it got someone killed.

Probably why you don't see too many of them left on the road. I've never seen one at all. Accidents looking for places to happen?

That is a 66 or older VW so it would also be a speed demon about 40 Hp if I remember right, 1300 cc s or less. in 67 they went to a different style bumper and fuel injection.

Bet it had better than usual bug heat! Would absolutely need a co-pilot just to watch the passenger side direction. Good idea gone bad as soon as produced.

Eh, back then it wouldn't have been that dangerous. My brother got run over by a Beetle and all it did was piss him off.

Hey! Be nice! A '63 bug was my first car! Granted it was missing the camper portion and I had to push it more often than not but that's beside the point!
