here is a repro of the correct lens... (click the hot linked type) except yours would be one without the VW logo... trust me... they don't grow on trees. There are millions without the "halo"... and only one in a million with the halo.

Latest snag is my uncle cashed my "gift", but never filled out the Bill of Sale, so I can go to the Secretary of State to get a title. I also had sent a long list of questions about the car's history, didn't respond to that either. Not sure where he's coming from... :-(

My mom called...she had talked to my aunt, who mentioned they signed my bill of sale and are having it notarized. Filled out my questionnaire and will send it to me Monday! Whoopeeee! I cannot wait to read my uncle's responses to my many questions. That said, a long ride to mid-Michigan in the C4S is always a fine thought ha ha...

UPDATE. The reply finally came from my aunt and uncle. I now have a notarized bill of sale! Plan is to now get a MI title. My uncle did answer my questions. I'll post the Q and A here when I'm logged on to my home PC. Couple of strange facts. Car was only driven 6 years before tear down, yet possibly wore 3 different colors??? I have the name and phone number of 2nd owner from Lansing, MI. Very strange indeed. Stay tuned. 2003 Carrera 4S Speed Yellow / 1955 356 Continental 1500 Rust Red

Update: TITLE. Ugh...secretary of state... Took my notorized Bill of Sale into the SOS today. The gal behind the counter said no can do to issuing a new title to me. Said my uncle has to apply for a replacement title. I barely got the bill of sale out of him. What a freakin mess. Neadless to say, I'm not a happy camper at the moment. And here is a pic of the extraction....

best thing to do is offer to pay your uncle to get off his *** and get a replacement title. That or a bottle of booze... whatever his fancy may be....

Made contact with the first owner's son today, he will dig around for pictures of the car. He said it was cream colored with red fender stripes and remembers it from 1955. So interesting...
