Mine was a 1951 white bug. 200.00. The rear bumper came home in the back seat. But it was mine.
Grandfather, (Navy, POW one) got a ‘53 new. His last Bug was a 67. He sold that one to a girl on her way to college in the late 80’s and if he’d rolled the odometer from 70K back to a few hundred it would have been believable 🤦
