Subject: [tcb] progessive refinements
I reproduced several copies of Progressive Refinements Vol I, 1940s
through 1961. If you don't know: what this publication is, it is
originally a factory produced document by VW of all the changes made to
all types of the VW from the first beetles in 1946 listed by date, VIN
and body # with a description of the change. Volume I goes through the
1961 model year and contains some 322 pages.
To give you an example: 16 March 1960 at VIN 584 674 the Type II
changed from the chrome grooved small inner door handle to the later
style (long plastic on non-deluxe and short chrome on deluxe). And I
bet you real vintage bus nuts thought that was a 1961 model year change
didn't you? Nope, 4 1/2 months of 60s had em.
At any rate: this book is an excellent reference source for the anal
retentive like Will and me. Point is, I plan on having several copies
at the Classic for sale @ $40 each. For the TCB anyone who wants one
and lets me know before the Classic I=2
0will bring you one for $35..
I am currently searching for a Vol II which goes from 61 through 67 but
have had no success to date.
