But it is a 55 Canadian Standard motor runs strong, needs tires, brakes, and for the eggs to be put back on.




and after a long day. Thanks Eliot and Billy for sharing the ride with me.

welcome to the Early Oval club.
Did Canadian models come with eggs, I didn't think they did, but I could be wrong...

Cool!

From this info that I have found it came with eggs. but this car is new to me so a lot to learn.

Oct'54 (chassis # 1-0722916) - May 2, 1955 (chassis 1-0871207) U.S., Guam, and Canadian models.
This is probably the most misunderstood taillight assembly of them all! Most people refer to these as "1955 only" taillights. We will set the record straight on these, so forget everything you heard, or thought you knew!
Dimensionally speaking, this taillight is the same size as the Oct'52-July'54 assemblies. The upper brake light lens is deleted, and the lower lens is constructed of dark red, convex shaped dark red plastic and is surrounded with a chrome bezel. The brake and running lights were illuminated through this lens.
Here is yet another twist for this particular taillight assembly. From April 1, 1955 through May 2, 1955, VW offered as a factory accessory a flashing indicator package for Beetles bound for the U.S., Guam, and Canadian markets. Beetles equipped with this option were outfitted with "bullet" style front flashing directional indicators (in place of semaphores), and a larger
style rear taillights that controlled the brake, running and directional lights. We receive many questions from people restoring 1954-1955 Beetles with regards to what taillight is correct. Here is a condensed breakdown of how to determine which taillight is correct for your car:

**All 1954-1955 European Beetles were outfited with "heart" taillights.

**All Oct'54 (chassis # 1-0722915) - Mar'55 U.S., Guam, and Canadian market cars used the red convex plastic lens taillights. All of these cars had semaphore directional indicators.

**April'55 - May 2, 1955 (chassis # 1-0871206) U.S., Guam, and Canadian market cars, there are two possibilities. Your car could have the red convex plastic lens taillights and semaphores, or it could have the optional flashing turn signal package with the larger glass taillights and "bullet" style front flashing directional indicators.

**May 3, 1955 (chassis # 1-0871207) - July'55 (chassis # 1-0929746) U.S., Guam, and Canadian market cars were equipped with the flashing indicator package as standard equipment. So, this car would have the larger glass taillights and "bullet" style front directional indicators.

WOW!!!
