Additionally, about the VW's, that '58 Type 2 windowless that I had was a non-syncro 1st while the '61 we bought for my wife ($200 and nice) was syncronized...neither had gas gauges...a lever on what front engines cars is called the firewall was turned when you ran out.

You gave the correct answer for the post I made of the VW bug. It is a '61. The '61 had synchromesh first gear and it was quite an improvement.
Heres me with my '61 back in about '67. I didn't like the green and it needed a lot of body work when I bought it, so my dad's graduation present was to get the dents remove and a new paint job. I drove the wheels off of that thing.

3798j wroteI did spot it but this old brain of mine mixed up Olds for Pontiac. Oh well! It's fun to guess first and then cheat and do the research.Thought you'd spot the Pontiac insignia on the third seat.
I'll bet the original owners would have been shocked to see the final resting place of this mid-sixties masterpiece.
