Did your 61 have a crash box tranny?
I think I'm partial to the oval window beetles. I believe '57 was the last year for ovals. Very nice.
I always get a kick out of reading the specs for those old beetles. 35hp! Whoohoo!!!
I once had a chance to buy a '57 karmann ghia (hardtop). It was an amazing deal. I think the guy wanted $3500, it was in a barn just outside Calgary. Everything perfectly original and nearly mint (a few rough edges but really quite amazing for original). Only thing that had been done to it was it had been converted from 6v to 12v. I had to pass on it; something like that really deserves a garage, unfortunately at the time I had no garage. (Soon that will change
)

You don't need one (on your keyboard that is). If you use alt char codes you can make do. See: -->
Kübelwagen.
What you do is you hold down your alt key, and while doing so, type in (on your keypad) the number 129. Alt-129 gives you the umlaut.
Here is a page of other alt char codes....
