    Yup, I've found 2 of them lying around, myself. The first, a 59-62
had its legs sawed off a bit to keep from tipping. I gave $6 for it at a
Goodwill store. The second was a little later and totally devoid of
upholstery. Its legs showed considerable wear from being moved around on
concrete or other abrasive surface. If anybody has available one for a
56-58 with brown upholstery, I'd love  to buy it!
    In    my storeroom at my house, I have 3 Vanagon ones, plus one from
a 78 Champagne Edition, plus the 2 splitty ones. I guess if I ever host
a midwest Vanagon/ Type 2 get together, we have seats for a few!

still looking for original rims for my November 1955 pickup. Rims dated
09/55 or 10/55
