I have a vague memory of my Model 411 (well, something like that)
burning raw gasoline to make heat. But perhaps my memory is playing me

=================================

Not sure about the 411 but on the Beetle the gas fired heater was an
optional (and popular) extra. It used to fit about where the glove
compartment should have been if my memory is correct. One of my
colleagues when I worked at Cornell U back in the 60s was a bit of a
VW fanatic. He was always collecting heaters and other accessories
from where ever he could find them.
