Vintage VW Running Boards

In the event you have a Savannah beige ’67 like me, don’t believe the hype. Black running boards are NOT correct. Sand beige however is. It’s highly unlikely you’ll find NOS, so Wolfsburg West is the nest best thing.

    On your “Running Boards” article, You’re lucky Wolfsburg West makes the color that’s correct for your car. We with Zenith Blue cars have only one economical choice for running board and fender beading: black. Wish we could get Zenith Blue!

      Yeah, I’ve talked to them about that. I think NOS is your only option. (YEAH RIGH!)

    Did you mean Savannah beige running board covers? Sand beige was for earlier years.
