Special snow equipement for the Monte Carlo : headlights deflectors, snow chains, shovels, additional lights and fog lights (even some with light-washing), don't know what is that thing on the rear window ? Maybe something to unfreeze it.








And these 356 owners didn't forget to bring something hot to drink ! With a tube so you can drive and drink at the same time without problems.

Where I found the infos they say this one is an Italmeccanica compressor. I remember it on old Fiat, Lancia and Alfa but it seems they've made a kit for VWs.
