 Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2007 8:46 am Post subject: Beetleboards of America Design Art... |
 |
|
| I have an original art design from the company called Beetleboards of America. It is 18.5" tall x 22.5" wide. It has a 1972 copy right on it so I am assuming that the picture is of a 1972-3 Beetle. The artwork is for the Double Cola Company. I was wondering if this is worth anything and if it is, what are ppls thoughts about a price. Thanks for all of your comments in advance. |

What's it made of? What's it's condition? Is it numbered? Where is the pic of it?
Find a VW fan who went to work for Double-Cola in '72. Make sure (s)he has a shop that (s)he can decorate and likes to collect VW nostalgia. Then ask them what it's worth.
Otherwise, paruse the classifieds & find something comparable. I've got a dealer's "Genuine VW Parts" up in the garage. I've got no idea what it's worth, but I'm sure not what it would take to sell it.

My folks had KOOL cigarette ads on their 71 standard bug when I was a kid. My Dad said that there was another set of ads in it before then, but I can not remember what it was now. I have a faded pic of the "KOOL car" I need to scan. My Dad said that he was paid like $30 a month and had to drive it around at a few events every now and then.
I remember seeing a few around when I was a kid, but most owners probably did what my Dad did. As soon as the checks stopped coming, he peeled all of the ads off. |

I didn't know they were stickers. I assumed it would be painted on, but stickers make sense. Cool info (or KOOL info). Thanks for sharing it!
