The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

Welcome to the World of Beetle Bugs. That almost sounds like we need to call an exterminator . Looking forward to seeing pictures of your car.

Yeah, it looks like that from certain angles. I've noticed that in pics of my own car, and others. Always thought it was odd that VW didn't "square off" the bottom of the engine cover which would have allowed them to move the rear bumper about 3 inches closer to the body. Its amazing the ...

Here is the proud new owner with the black '66. http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1195766.jpg This is a car that I rescued from a junkyard seven or eight years ago.

I like White cars. That's a great looking '66.

Great looking car.
