No idea why this would be - all three of my 66's came with arm rests on the drivers side - that being said we have certainly all talked on this forum about how we have noticed some subtle changes to 66's based on region. I suppose it could also be that someone bought a replacment panel that was not pre-drilled for an arm rest.

If your car has a driver's side arm rest, it's because the original owner ordered it as an accessory when the car was new (unlikely) or it was installed later on.
Beetles built prior to 1968 came stock with a passenger side armrest only, I can only surmise, because the Germans thought we should be driving and not resting our arms.
