My '66 Beetle came with its original owner's manual, warranty booklet, and bill of sale, from Earl A. Brown Volkswagen of Clearwater Florida.
Anyone know if there are original license plate frames or other memorabilia available from this dealer? Would be neat to have...
Anyone else know where their car originally came from?

Re: the original dealer...
This is quite a shock, because my car also came from Earl A. Brown Volkswagen and I also have every piece of paperwork for it (including the window sticker), AND I found and restored a license plate frame for it that looks pretty stunning if i say so myself.OurRed116 wrote:My '66 Beetle came with its original owner's manual, warranty booklet, and bill of sale, from Earl A.

In addition, my wife and I drove the car to the location of the old dealership in Clearwater. The building is still there, though it's now a body shop.

Our car is one of the last '66 models built (something like 15,000 from the end of the model run), and wasn't delivered until October, well into the '67 model year.
It's spent it's entire life less than 40 miles from where it was sold, though service records show it did spend some time in South Carolina!
