Pretty damned close .... The Ford F series is the current best selling model at the moment but not one of the all time best selling. The other four are on the list but not in the right order.

OK I'll give you the F Series as number one. My info may be a little out of date. Also Model T is 5th (6th now I suppose with 15million)

I thought that due to mexican/brazilian plants staying open longer the beetle numbers topped out at over 25 million??

Not sure if they would be classed as the original thing. Were they built under licence with original spec etc?

As faras I'm aware yes they were original spec..... did you know that in the original beetle run (not brazil/mexico) of the 5115 parts the only one that didn't change/evolve was the bonnet seal????

Decklid from memory.... when I had one I devoured every bit of trivia I could get my mits on, now it's all slowly being replaced by information on tax loopholes and other such important things!
