I was wondering: this Sonnendach (a pare-soleil, I guess) was sort of a prop, an accessory, wasn't it? If so, is it reasonable to make out of it some sort of sub-type of the body? |

We will not find an agreement about that. ![[:kiki]](https://imcdb.opencommunity.be/images/smileys/kiki.gif "[:kiki]") We had this discussion several times before. Of course the body with Sonnendach was a special body (but all sunroof-versions, too, either the cloth-, the metal- or the glass-version) - but it was not an own model! The two official Typ 1-versions in the 50ies and early 60ies were the "Standard" and the "Export". That's it  -- Last edit: 2013-10-01 19:23:44 |

Well you could make use of the sub-types 111 VW Limousine Standard-Modell 115 VW Limousine Standard-Modell mit Sonnendach 113 VW Limousine Export-Modell 117 VW Limousine Export-Modell mit Sonnendach 151 VW Cabriolet But they are all still Typ 1... |

Mmmh… I shall ('wisely', I decide) keep calling them "VW unknown [Typ 1]". You'll do the icing. |

@tore-40: is that an original not cobbled 1951-version?  ![[Image: qv18.th.jpg]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/194/qv18.jpg/ "http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/793/qv18.th.jpg") Seen last Saturday at the http://www.sdtb.de/Home.623.0.html It shall be one according the display, but I doubt it a bit (for example due the Wolfsburg crest), because there are some mistakes and goofs at the other exhibited cars. So the alleged 1971 NSU RO 80 is in fact a very late 1976/77 car. And this is a real impudence:  ![[Image: ocds.th.jpg]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/843/ocds.jpg/ "http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/422/ocds.th.jpg") ![[Image: el6n.th.jpg]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/822/el6n.jpg/ "http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/7118/el6n.th.jpg") -- Last edit: 2013-10-02 10:21:04 |

The visible items look OK: Round horn grille both fenders 05/49-10/52 Wheel colours, bumper, chrome strips seem to be correct The famous 'Raumaklappen' 01/51-10/52 are present, along with correct door windows Light blue Wolfsburg emblem from 04/51 The auxillary fog lamps could be original equipment The only thing (besides the direction indicators, I suppose the semaphores are still there as well) seems to be the wheel covers - they should be with a VW-emblem painted in the car's colour. Could be produced somwehere 04/51-10/52. -- Last edit: 2013-10-02 11:28:20 |

Tha SAAB is a 1949-52 92A, isn't it? But what about the windscreen? |

1951 De Luxe by the license plate on the back, Värmland plate on the front. |

Seen it. That's probably part of the SAAB's history. |

This I mean with "impudence" |
