I’d like to know what dealer originally sold my ‘74 2.0. No Kardex available for cars made after ‘69 per my research.
Does anyone know how to find this information? My current owners manual is a replacement. Any Ideas? Thanks, Jack |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
My '74 was sold on July 20/74 in Kelowna, BC. The dealer stamp looks like Merican Motors but the last 3 letters in "Merican" are hard to read. But the dealer number is 1429 which is the same dealer number as the present Turner VW, in Kelowna.
The 1st owner never filled out the info. I also have the manual for the dealer installed AudioVox AM/FM cassette, the manual doesn't say AudioVox anywhere, it just has a line drawing with Volkswagen on the faceplate. I still have the radio and it looks exactly like the manual line drawing, except it says AudioVox on the cassette door flap and doesn't have Volkswagen on the face plate. I have the '74 owners manual which says Canada on the inside cover and is in english and french. I also have a '74 owners manual from a parts car originally sold here in Ontario, it also says Canada on the inner cover but it's in english only and it also has the maintenance stamps in the manual, not in a separate booklet. |

It's great you have original paperwork someday the car and paperwork will be 100 year old antques. |
