More Vintage VW Dash Love
Volkswagen Beetle 1966 dashboard
Another look inside a vintage VW bug. In addition to the updated sound system, this particular 1966 Beetle has an 1835cc engine and a Super Street 4 transmission. (Don’t know much about the mechanical specs, but it was on the window of the car.) To me, it’s still that VW Beetle minimalist dash: speedometer; gas gauge; and those distinctive control knobs. I remember how those controls feel, like it was yesterday. Photographed at the Seaside Spectacular 7th Annual Collector’s Car Show at Point Lookout, Long Island, NY, USA.

My 1964 didn’t have a gas gauge, but it had a lever to switch to a spare gallon (to let you know how close to empty you were). I love VW Bugs. My second one was a ’74.
