Subject:      Westfalia Horses & Curtains

Sorry it's taken so long to respond to the requests for a source for = the plastic things the curtains run in the track on in your Westfalias! = =E3work has been busy--the STUDENTS are coming back!! :-( but I guess that's = why I'm here...! Das Bulli Haus in Franklin CT has them! They're NOS and co= st $4 for 10 (found 'em in England). Their number is (203) 642-7242. I= 'm fairly certain these are for the late-models only. I believe the earlier We= sties had a different style. They are correct for our '68 Westy/Dormobile, any= way (it's a production-line special ordered Westfalia with a Dormobile top & co= tts brought back from England by a US military-man -- we found the origin= al owners)

Now, about this Ferrari-esque horse on the Westfalias "everyone" was = talking about a few weeks ago (I know, I'm a little behind the times!), while= labeling a box of new books/tapes for the Department the other day, I saw a pa= ge in a book that had the "coat-of-arms" for all the German "states". Westfa= liawerke is in Nordrhein-Westfalen, I beleive, (either that in Niedersachsen--= either way my theory works...) and the "coat-of-arms" for that state has the Fer= rari-esque horse in it. Hope this clears up the mystery. (the coat-of-arms for= Nieder- sachsen also has a Ferrari-esque horse). I'd certainly be curious to= find out if this is indeed how the horse got there!
