We ordered Gertrude's birth certificate a few weeks ago and it arrived this week. When I saw on her door jamb that she was built in October of 1970, I was really hoping she'd have the same birthday as Ludwig, but we weren't that lucky. Only three days' (and a few years') difference though.
I made the big mistake of ordering the certificate in Melissa's name, which she took as my tacit admission that she is the car's primary owner. Ooops.
Other ACVW owners interested in getting the birth certificate for their cars should follow this thread. Bus owners only wanting the info and not the certificate (suitable for framing!) should just use this handy free M-Code decoder instead.

I've been meaning to do this for Little Blue. I think she has a December birthday and I am missing it 2 years in a row...
The main reason we got it, besides the nice but pointless verification of her birthday, was to determine her original color. I was right! Shantung Yellow.
Alright,

Mitch,
Gertie is my car. If the Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen put it in writing it must be true! But don't worry, I'll still let you work on her and drive her whenever you want.
Love,
Melissa
