my classic 1957 and 1958 Beetles
Hopefully by the end of this year I'll have a New Beetle to add to my Beetle collection but unfortunately for it my garage is already full with no plans to clear it out.
Here's my 1957 oval-window and my 1958 ragtop, both are restored basically stock (I wish I could say I restored them, but I can't): The '57 has been converted to 12volt but the '58 is still 6volt. Both still have the original 36hp engine. Only 1 gauge on the dash in each. Contrary to the antenna on the '57, neither actually has a radio, both have the blank-offs installed. And they both stay out of the rain and only go out on weekends mostly. I've only had the '58 for about 2 weeks (so no good photo-ops yet) and it's currently on jack-stands now for probably another week. I'm getting the rims repainted and will be installing 2.25" whitewalls on it (like the '57.) I think the whitewalls just make it look more "classic" (older.) Anyway, thinking of a blue NB since I seem to have a shade of blue trend going already with the beetles.

(o\_vw_/o) Beetles rule! There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.
