Hi Dan, I’ll figure out how to post a picture with a link. But, I think it is a split hatch or I would like to find out. Pre 1968. Eric Caron

I used to have 2 buses (sold now) one is about 1968 and the other one is 1978 air cooled but I have no idea what their hatch looks like... sorry. > > On Thu, Sep 23, 2021 at 8:12 AM Eric Caron <ericcaron96@comcast.net <mailto:ericcaron96@comcast.net>> wrote: > Hi folks, > > Sort of an early Friday question. I have an early bus hatch in great shape gifted to me by a friend that had to empty his house for selling. I think it is mid 1960’s but not sure. Is there any clear way to know the vintage of a rear hatch? It is intact including lock. The lock is a push button round, a circle with no part pointing down. No hinges. But window and internal cover all in very good shape. > > Color is faded to a lovely salmon color. > > I gave away many parts to friends with early busses but am considering either an art project or selling it to put a little cash back into my Vanagon. > > My wife has seriously suggested mounting it over the fire place as it is very fun. > > So, how to know the date of the bus it came from? > > Eric Caron > With mystery rear hatch |
