Submitted by a fellow 1967beetle.com reader in Germany, this unique ’67 Beetle accessories literature is worth a look. Who knew Volkswagen of old was pushing innovation in such cool ways so long ago? If only I could go back in time and purchase new one of those Volkswagen tissue boxes. Or, how about a few Hazet toolkits!
Very cool!
This was really interesting. I like how for some of the accessories it states basically that this is for the 1966 model, but it will work for your 67 as well (tool kit). I love my 1967 and the more I read about it the more I realize that these cars were almost built for customizing. I talked to one guy that owned a 66 new and he compared the bugs to the new scion cars today. Easy to customize and a lot people were doing just that. He remembers seeing in 66 lowered bugs, swapped out fenders of different years, cut tops ect…
That being said I would like to keep mine mostly original, but also don’t feel ashamed with some customization.
I am a returning VW addict. I was away for 7 years due to health and job related issues. My mindset is this: Try to stay German and if you see something you would like on your car, GET IT! If you want an original down to the last bolt, DO IT! These cars were made for enjoyment, no matter how you decide to enjoy them.
Ahh… there is nothing like the smell of fresh fish while trying to sleep in the back of your Type III. That picture always makes me laugh!
That’s a really neat brochure. I’ve seen the cover photo but not the rest. Very neat. I would love the tool kit and to convert my ’67 to a sleeper!
So good! Thank you for finding this.
Superbe ; je termine tranquillement la restauration de ma 1300A de juillet 67 et recherche des docs de ce styles pour la remettre d’origine… alors j’adore !!! félicitation
Which translates too.
“I quietly finished restoring my 1300A July ’67 and search the docs for this style back to original … So I love! congratulations!”
Another example of how 1967beetle.com is my fav site. I’d love to get a real copy of this.
Eric, you really know how to make a good day better. Thanks for sharing this with us..
Thanks Sam! I put a lot of effort into this project. I do it because I love these old cars. Also, the ’67 Beetle deserves a platform for it’s unique story to be told.
