Ok, I am sorry for bringing this up to you all, you have been kind to me in the past and I repay you like this. There is a HORRID movie named "The Beast of Yucca Flats" staring Tor Johnson (that should tell you something) and in the movie is a car I don't know. Have you seen the movie? Can you ID the car? It is a rear engine, air cooled car that has air slits in the rear hood I think. I think it may have been a little bigger than a beetle but it ain't a beetle or even a VW for that fact.
If you haven't seen the movie can you suggest some other VW like cars that would have made it to the US in the late 50s or early 60s?
It is not a Corvair, and not one of the post Beetle VWs.
Regards, LLB
PS.. the Beast of Yucca Flats may be the worst movie ever.
