I bought from a swap meet this weekend-

Comes with the original box! Anyone ever seen one like this before? I'm having a hard time researching this. Thanks!

Volkswagen published one every year from the early 50s on. Yours is from the early 60s. I have never seen one in it's box, congrats.

I don't see them that often but I have a few of them.

I know I have that particular year calendar as I recognize the Mouse Grey Sunroof Bus image.

I do have a few in a similar packaging but it is less common to see them NOS like that.

http://www.aircooledads.com/ has a nice selection of the various years and versions on his site.

The images are the same for a particular year but there are usually several sizes as some would have dealer stampings and some do not. I have some of the same year that are different sizes.

It looks like this is the only one I have posted in the Gallery on the site

... yes ! A boxed one is ultra rare - it is even hard to find one complete with the small address/calenderfield, because this section normaly got cut off.

Today's flea market find. 1960 dealership glovebox calendar from Frank McDonald, Inc. East Haven, CT. It measures 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" and has a color photograph on one page of every month. The last pages are monthly auto expense registers.

The bus photos feature barndoor and non-barndoor buses. Some of the non-barndoor buses are semaphore buses.

There are a few missing pages, but I feel fortunate to have found it. Very Happy

Nice score!

There is a '58 version on that dealer page too:

The fact that there is 2 of those out there from the same dealer surprises me.

I would agree Everett...I wonder if they were a VW approved item that dealers could order, but most opted not to...or if all dealers got them in limited quantities? I personally had never seen one until today.
