When I was 6 years old, dad rolled a brand new ‘55 VW Beetle unto our driveway, tan, with the oval window and funny blinkers, that were disabled but still installed, and rag top sun roof. I remember fondly many day trips in that car, all the sounds, smells, of that wonderful ride and I wish you the best of luck in restoring this beauty! Please keep us posted on this project.
