Hmm, it looks, that its a brand new one (1968+ front lamps and fenders), but the bumper is older (it doesn't really fit either). Strange combination for 1968. |

In Paris it was (and is) quite easy to ruin your bumper... I guess this happened here too, and it was more 'economical' to replace it with a second hand bumper .gif ";)") |

I think that´s a late 1967 for the US, some of them had the new front fenders. That would fit with the US-bumper to. |

It's not an US-bumper, it's the pre-1967-version for the "Export"-trim. All Typ1 with the steep front lamps (modelyear 1968+), had the new bumper-version (called "railroad-track-bumper"). |

I don´t know, but that extra bar and higher overriders were only standard on US-market up to 1967 models. But I guess you could get them as accessory if you wished. |

Here´s a sample: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/67changes/page3.jpg But I don´t think all of the US-models for 1967 had the new lights. |

As far as I know, all the 1967 US Sedans received vertical headlights and kept this type of bumpers. Nevertheless - and although it's not easy to be completely sure - this car seems to have the new door mirror and doesn't seem to have the chrome strips in the windscreen seal and along the bonnet. So I think this can be a 1968 1200 whose owner decided to fit this bumper in order to cope with the Paris traffic. |

Looking closely at it again, that seems likely .gif ":)") |
