Right-Hand Drive
This '61 Beetle was unique, not just because of its year and its two-tone color scheme. Look closely, and you'll see that the steering wheel is on the right-hand side. There's a simple explanation for this. The owner is a Brit, and when he moved to America he took his prize '61 Bug with him.
I had to bend over backwards to get this picture because it was so crowded around this Bug. I took it with a disposable camera and had a CD made, like with all of my pictures. But when the lab scanned the photo for disc, it was cropped. Thus the right-hand-side steering wheel appears in full view on the 4x6 glossy print, while it's somewhat cut off here. Sorry I couldn't do better. But it's still an interesting specimen of VW for people used to left-hand-drive (i.e., most of us) to appreciate.
