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 will 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.
