Ludwig's new bling

Look what Mitch found--some guy selling vintage VW dealer plate frames online. Ludwig is now adorned with one from Universal Motors, which later became Universal Volkswagen (which no longer exists). The color surrounding the white lettering on the frame is actually a very pale blue, although it was hard to capture the actual color in a photo.

That black on the bumper above the tailpipe means that Ludwig is running a little rich.
The plates themselves are from Fergus County. Ludwig wasn't actually sold at Universal Motors though, as far as we know.

Love the bling. Got your message and contacted the guy - a bit pricey, no? Somehow I have no problem blowing money to make Blue run or look better but can't bring myself to drop $100 on a set of license plate frames. Bastards!

Hey - do your louvered (joulosie) windows rattle? Hearing from people they are loud. True?

That guy must be setting different prices according to demand, and, predictably, a bay-area dealer frame is going for a lot more than a Missoula Montana dealer frame. That said, rest assured that we paid nowhere near $100 for what we got.
The jalousies rattle some, and whistle too, but really only when they're not closed all the way. It's unfortunate though, because it's pretty much impossible to drive with them open, because they'll get shredded. But it (their rattling) can't be described as "loud" in our case.
Alright,

Danke, Miranda.
Sie wissen, was sie, besser spät sagen als nie.
Ganz richtig,
Mitch.
