[QUOTE=jtbo;301661]I see that one model used license plate as a partial grill block, however if it had air cooled engine at back, what was grill there for?
The VW Type 1 motor is air AND oil-cooled. Perhaps the grill was to protect an external oil-cooler placed in the air-flow. I have seen many contemporary racing Beetles and Porsches with front-mounted auxiliary oil coolers.
