Your car looks fantastic! Color looks spot on and the interior is amazing. I wish mine were Euro spec, that cloth is much cooler than plain boring vinyl! Great job!

Beautiful, looks just as great on the inside as on the outside! Mine's got the blue vinyl covers with silver/blue piping made by West Coast Classics a long time ago. If it weren't still like new I'd go for cloth like you've got!

Is it standard ride height, when i bought mine it had been lowered at back. I reset but still seems touch lower than front. Yours sits very nicely, is ride height level or with a slight pitch?

Awesome car..... I just acquired a Belgium oval, and have questions that you may be able to help answer.

Mine is a Mar. 56 built car. Same color as yours, same interior color.

My first question is where were these cars built? Mine dose not have a Made in West Germany Badge under the hood.

Does yours have a body number stamped below the serial number badge? mine does not

Well thos to are a good start on the questions...

Thanks for your time...

Great looking car and trailer! Since you asked for suggestions, what about painting the trailer wheel to match the Bug wheels; starting from the outer section - blue, white, silver?
