IIRC, Gary bought his VW in Wisconsin, so it came in via VWoA. That
makes it a US version car. I'm pretty sure the midwest cars all came
in via the St. Lawrence seaway, to various ports on the Great Lakes.
None of that will show up on the papers the buyers got; it just comes
from word of mouth from the dealers at the time. Russ would have
known and Charles probably knows what POE his dealership's cars came
in.
Gary's probably came in from Milwaukee. I think my original '68 came
in via Chicago. Cars in your area probably came in via Detroit.
