I stand under correction.

But the 1958 to 1962 had their stickers on the glove box lid inside.

My 1952 has a small one on the door post "B" pillar ( not sure as I can not read the writing )

Maybe @Jdt1976 , Jaco can let us know as he has a range of original beetles that age.

Jaco, Please post photo's of the years you have as it would be interesting for all.

I have never noticed any tyre pressure stickers on any of my pre 57 cars. Most of them had a respray before I got them so difficult to say if they had or not.

I did ask a friend with a very low mikage original oval but nothing on his either. May Fig can check on his oval.

I did look on my 59 beetle that still got original paint but can't see any traces of one. Got a lot of old service stickers on door pillars though.

On the 67 model in is on the petrol tank.

On the 71 it is on the glovebox lid.
