Australia’s Oldest Split Window VW Beetle?
Could this example be the oldest in the country? It’s a 1949 split beetle from the Volkswagen Spectacular show in 2004. Perhaps someone could review the images and chime in?

Jeff Bakers Volksrod
Jeff’s Volksrod just did my head in. It was the first time I’d really paid attention and the bloke built a Frankenstein. The details made me laugh and lose sleep and I wished I owned it.

Vince Mosachino Fiat 124
I’ve got a recollection this was shot for a new online magazine? We shot it at Hillary’s Boat Harbour. I really can’t remember but again it was on film and scanned badly by me. I really had no idea what I was doing but that […]
