EI 6730 Volkswagen Beetle (Type 1)

This image depicts what looks like a fairly new 1950s Volkswagen Beetle, registered in County Sligo (Ireland). This format of registration for Sligo (EI plus a sequential number) ended in November 1959, so the date is likely to be in the latter half of the 1950s. The small one-piece rear window seen on this car was introduced in March 1953 and discontinued in 1958 in favour of a much larger rear screen.

 

Scan of an old print, the origin of which I don't have any information on.
