Oval rear windows were real early ones , I have one here thats a 56 model , 55 56 57 they ran for maybe and the even earlier ones back to 1948 were a split oval rear window , and the army issue had no rear window .

One has to be careful with these bugs....
Back in the '80's I was racing my XB F**%^$ V8 at the Oran Park drags.
A beetle pulls up next to me for a race. My first thought was.....
It quickly changed to...... 
.......when he was tearing down the strip, lifting the front wheels on each gear change.
Suffice to say he blew me away
