Looks similar to a super beetle hood but still something doesn't look exactly right imo... _________________ 1959 Fjord Blue Volkswagen Beetle

Looks like a '73+ curved window super beetle hood to me. They are shorter than '71-'72 super beetle hoods due to the curved windshield. _________________ Formerly known in the forums as "OVALTEEN"
