Methinks the beancounters have discovered a Profit Center! A friend of mine says he received a Birth Certificate one with (a) a rubber-stamped "Built-on" date and (b) incorrect information (they listed his hardroof sedan as a "Karmann-Ghia"). I've found Christine Neefe, who runs (ran?) the AutoMuseum Volkswagen, to be most helpful as I've assembled info on the police models, old brochures, etc. I guess good help is hard to find. Don't know whether she is still in charge.
