Passenger Parcel Shelf in a Bugeye

[bug_sixty]

Once upon a time I had a 58 not restored and it had the flat door panels.. along with all the other noted oddities like the door latch handles did have the knob at the end... But the ? is when did they switch to the other style.

You could fit the padded front edge to one of these but being metal I would bet that things that are hard would make noise in one of these. Original cardboard falls apart though.

they are made to accept the padded crash rail from the original

I put the same exact shelve in my 66 midget, spray painted it black first AND put some nice black shelve liner (for kitchen shelves, from Ace Hardware ) on it to provide the cushion necessary to keep things quiet that may be put on it, works great and looks great. If you order it from Ebay-UK make sure you state left hand drive because he makes them for both.
