Other Car







I've owned 5 VWs in my life. I had a 1957 ragtop, this 1964 vert, a 1965 stock sedan, a 1968 stock sedan parts car, and my 1970 custom sedan. Since the 'vert has been done I've been thinking about another project. I came extremely close to buying a split window bus. I had many leads, but for one reason or another, they just never worked out. I seriously considered buying a Porsche 550 Spyder replica, but decided a four seater would be better so the family could enjoy it with me. My heart has always been with the VW, but I'm not getting any younger and wanted to explore another interest. In the back of my mind I've always wanted an old American classic or hot rod. Well, an opportunity presented itself, and I recently purchased a 1956 Chevy Bel Air Sport Coupe - a real American classic.

Don't misunderstand - the VW is not going anywhere!!!!! I intend to keep it, and drive it, and show it. I hope I don't alienate any of my die-hard VW friends by owning an old Chevy. I am simply excited to learn about something new. The car is mostly original...with exception to: the different paint scheme (originally turquiose and white), the wheels, and a 350 with a 4 speed. It needs a little TLC, but all the parts are there and it's in decent shape (bought it and drove it about 80 miles home - it is fun to drive).
