Here I go again!

What is up with folks, (Volks...) with ads often accompanied with a picture for a "Popes Nose" license plate light! I find 90% of these are NOT Popes Nose lights, as only the Split Window Beetle had a "Popes Nose". They are always saying that the next generation light, found on oval and early square window Beetles up till 1963 are the Nose; while we don't have a cute name for these lights, the inaccuracy of this identification once again "annoys" this purist. The Popes Nose looks like a Charles DeGaulle Nose! The next generation is much more a Grace Kelly Nose???
Sorry for the ranting and raving; I just wish all the Volks selling Volks Parts would ID them correctly!
Once in a while you get shown the Light;
In the Strangest of places, if you look at it Right.

Grace Kelly???

Her nose was way too nice (as was the rest of her) to be compared to license plate light.
I have cancer.

It does not have me.
