But no donation possible…so I will send money by mail to  Frank.
I received very usefull information and help from this Club and it is just normal to give money once a year…why are you not charging 10$ or 20$ to be a menber of the club ?  I think everybody can effort that ?

My Classic Roadsters ID tag does not say “Limited Edition” Just has the company and address and the year & serial number.I hope we find out what the limited edition cars are.

I’m on a 1971 chassis. I guess I have two more years to floor pans!

Thanks Paul,
Just found it this morning….1969 platform (11936……)…with a 1975 engine (AJ  058…..)
Also, on top of the front axle beam I found a sticker whith these writing : VW  11340102 11 (or H) than 130CL or 1300L/1500   Made in Brezil
40 years old platform…not surprise that I have to replace the floor pans !!!!! LOL
Andre

Ringo,
I’d like to see how the “compartment” is put together.

I have too many cars! I am the only licensed drive in my home…please shoot me!!! I think I need to go to “AA” (Automobile Anonymous)

3) 1989 GMC Suburban, Choo-Choo Conversion, R-1500, 2WD (daily driver, runs great)
4) 1989 RECON, BCW MG-TD…[Read more]

AndreYeah, that is a beautiful duchess!My plate says limited edition but doesn’t have the *out of * number, just the serial number.My Duchess has wire wheels.  Check my photos on the site to see the wheels…..Unless you mean a picture of the compartment, which I can take this weekend and send along.Ringo

I want that black car…Pleeeeez Santa!!!

Paul, no matter how hard I tried, the PayPal link would not work for me either when I tried it.
It took me to PayPay, but would not allow a transaction.
 
Andre, give Bill a call…he’d be glad to sell more badges.
 

Yes  I kept my stock chevy frame.The truck was a 7 year project mainly due to finaces.Here is a pic of the clip.

And once you find your VIN, here is a VW Type 1 VIN decoder table

Andre,
There is an access panel under your seat to access the connection between the shift rod and the front of the transaxle.
The VW VIN is stamped into the chassis right above that access panel.

Ringo, can you e-mail me some pictures.I am curious..What is the # of your limited edition….do you have wire wheels on your car ?
Thanks
Andre

Hey Ringo, I need to dig through old stuff to figure that out.
Andre, no I didn’t check my id tag yet.

PaulYou’re right about the Duchess vs Grand Duchess.  I checked the old brochure I have and it is only referred to as the Grand Duchess. There were option packages that had names such as royale listed but no Duchess or Grand Duchess, only Grand Duchess. My badMy Duchess is supposedly made in ’84.  What year did CR make the switch in owners?Ringo
