Is the VW Beetle Germany’s '32 Ford? | Chip Foose Draws A Car - Ep. 20

  • Few cars put a generation of would-be motorists on the road in numbers rivaling that of the Volkswagen Beetle. Chip Foose feels the ubiquitous People's Car from Germany is much like a 1932 Ford, and deserves to be customized to reach its full design potential. Considering their price and availability, it makes sense to go a little wild: Chip alters large chunks of the Beetle's iconic body and makes an impressive roadster out of it.

Anyone who digs autos in any form owes a debt of gratitude to you. Way to go Mr. Foose you paved the way for many to enjoy

    I'd like to have my ol' '67 VW back. It was a special model with a 1500cc motor for that year. Actually, they were '661/2 year models that got titled for '67 and were all of one color...basic moss green metallic. Mine had the gas heater and solid "moon roof". Wish i had it again. That car was so much fun to drive. I like the one you drew with one exception and that would be to have front axle back a few inches from where you had it. Otherwise it was good :) I did a model of a VW with a turbo Buick v6 up front( with clutch)with a driveshaft back to the gearbox.

    That doesn't mean I don't like the idea of a hot rod style bug... 👍
    What makes it easy to use them for such projects is the fact that the overall shape of the Beetle didn't change much over the production time. Thus you don't have to take one of the (nowadays getting quite rare) early ones to cut up for your project.

    Think I've seen one already done almost like Chip's drawing or pretty close to it. Bugs VW have been done every which way you can think of when I went to my first BUG show I was in awe at the Vallejo Califorina fair grounds.

    Chip.. speaking of fun shapes. Take a look at the Datsun 1200 b110 fastback and see what you think. The car has very appealing body lines and screams for your design.. if nothing else at least on paper.
    I see something there. Check it out!
