89AKurt Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I'm going to build my parent's second Beetle. I'm 95% confident that's a 1960 model, when they still lived at Zion N. P. (dad was a Park Ranger stationed at the East Gate). That was taken in Glen Canyon before it got flooded by the dam, Gunsight Butte is a landmark standing above the lake. Someone here helped me with their first Bug plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) The Autoworld plates are very nice. Edited January 15, 2019 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell C Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Appears to be a '59 plate? Found a make-your-own image site here: https://www.licenseplates.tv/1959-utah-state-license-plate-2293.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berr13 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 A few years back Mike at Best Model Car Parts made me some license plates with my letter/number combinations. You might try him--his stuff is high quality and he's a great guy to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got his '57 Beetle conversion kit last year, but didn't wish to rob the parts, since I will be doing my parents first Beetle (in picture).

berr13 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Please let us see the finished model when you're done. This looks like a nifty project, and I'm eager to see it! Great pics, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
