Super!  I'm glad this was helpful, Steve.

Yes, many of us Squareback owners like to be able to haul big things
around in such a little car. :)

One additional bit, Rita Benton (Tom's wife) noted on the next page of this ledger book that they "bought car to transport sculpture from Kansas City to Martha's Vineyard" [their summer home]. Never saw how or when the Bentons sold the VW though.
