    OMG it’s a beautifully done job, Chris! I enjoy your videos! I must have owned more than 20 air cooled VWs in my life. My last one was a ‘65. It had a crazy ignition / steering lock on it.
    I paid dearly for a New Old Stock Kolb steering column lock for it to bring it back to original.
    Had a stock 1200cc. Only sold it because I moved. Chris, I worked with a retired NYPD Detective, John P. Finnegan. I think 9th precinct. He retired in 1986 and worked security in our hotel on Maui for 20 years. Worked under Guido, and Harold Hess, I think. Great guy. I bet your dad knew him.

    My great grandmother got a brand new black '59 after her husband died and left her with no income. They were both born in 1900, so they weren't even retired yet. I'm pretty sure the kids went together and bought it for her. She died in 1967 when I was 6 years old. I remember it sitting in her driveway, but I don't remember if I ever got to ride in it. It was such a novelty back then because most people in my family drove big V-8 cars. Don't know what happened to it, but it sure would be great to still have it in the family!

    I had a 58 Bug back in 1969. Had a sunroof. My wife was in the front holding our new born son in her arms and my three year old daughter stood between her legs. We all went to Woodstock in 1969. Never made it because the traffic and we wound up pitching a tent on the side of the road. The car brings back such memories.

    1958 was the first year for my beloved 1958-early 1964 "Herbie Generation" cutie bugs. I never had a '58, but my dad had a '60, painted ceramic green like the one in my thumbnail (one off year for that color). And I had a turquoise '61, a red sunroof '62, a white sunroof '62, and a blue '63, and a non-QT '66. I decked out my white '62 like Herbie, '53s, stripes and all, and took him to Vintage VW shows in 1982 and 1983. I won 2nd prize in the '58-'64 "square window" division in 1983. Those ('70s and '80s) were the days!

In those days we Ggave a wave when an other one passed 🤚Greetings from Canada . You could be waving all day they were every where . PS the wind sheald washer worked from the spare tire pressure. And semaphore turn signals. No one forgets their first car .🚙

    Thanks for posting this - I was curious about how it would turn out. What a gift for the family. I'm also curious about the comment about the spare tire - can you give more detail (the spare is a different tire than the other 4?) can you give a link to where you bought them from? Thanks for being such an inspiration as well as full of help & info for those of us trying to do this on our own.

    • @classicvwbugs
      @classicvwbugs  3 года назад +1

      A 165 Radial tire has a tough time getting into the spare tire tub of a beetle, it is just a lil too wide, so we put a bias in there so it can fit. Bias was original to beetles in that time period. You can get them from either jegs.com or summitracing.com. Thank you so much!
