Chrome and Trinkets:
The chrome parts have all been restored. Here are a few examples. The photos don't

Corner Windows:
The Samba came equipped with rear corner windows
made of Plexiglas. This reproduction set is identical to
those offered in the early 50's, all the way down to the
"Plexiglas" logo stamp.
