Theme : Volkswagen Beetle - 09

One of the most beautiful sets of minisheets i have on the topic of Volkswagen Beetle, is again from Liberia.
A set of 8 blocks were issued, each with a picture of a Volkswagen Beelte, a year and a small story.
Although the story has little to tell about the history of the Volkswagen Beetle, it makes the entire sheetlet worth looking at. The pictures show various types, with a particular design on the car.
The series start in 1950 and the last picture shows a New Beetle.



It's really worth looking more closely to each design in particular :

1951
1955
1960
1966
1970
1979
1986
1998
On the first sheet, I noticed an error in the caption beneath the car :
I think they were too enthousiastic writing about the Beetle, that they added an extra T :-)
