1958 Hot Rod magazine movie about drag racing ingenuity and the Dragmaster Special
I just found the Dragmaster Special at the county fair and posted a gallery of it here http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/06/dragmaster-special.html
Found on http://pepeeee.blog.cz/
museum quality restored VW bug that was the focus of a lot of attention
most unusual of the few bug deflectors I've come across
Great headrests, first time I've seen anything like them
Great radio, high dollar option?
I can't figure out what the thing is under the shifter knob

The buttons under the radio? Commentor IXXI was very nice and shared the following infoThe Buttons under the Radio is a Shortwave Band Spreader. The Numbers represent the "Band" in MHz or "Meter". The Band Spreader worked as preselector mostly the User also bought an extra long Antenna (1,25m) with Crank drive height adjustment (Bosch, Kathrein, Hirschmann) for optimal fine tuning.
Most Shortwave Spreaders allowed to store one station for each Band. Most sought after Spreaders are the Becker Auto Super units with clockwork driven automatic search and storage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortwave_radio#Frequency_allocations
The "longer" bands where also called "marine bands" as they can pic up signals fom all around the world depending on the weather so even in the US you coud listen to european SW Stations like BBC, RIAS, ERF, RTL, AFN oder Deutschlandfunk. On the other hand mostly not while driving... Still today you can buy new SW Radios with Band Spreader
the paper in the window that describes the car descibe the car as having an optional Marine Band radio, is that what the numbered buttons are? Seems most likely
