Looks like it's photo shopped to me. Why no pictures of the guy sitting in it? I tried to do a search on the net for other pics and didn't find any. Plus the view of the glovebox lock looks like the keyhole is in scale too. Did they make huge keys for the car too? |

Pages 1965 and 1966 of the abortions thread. Still think it's photoshopped? |

Those pics in traffic are too funny. Must be a lot of double takes and head shaking as that "bug" goes by. _________________ 67 zenith blue sunroof

This thing is real, awesome, and impressive. These photos are from the weekly Ruby's Car show in Redondo Beach 4/15/2016.

It needs a larger rear license plate. But very cool.

Pretty amazing even though the builder said it was easy to do. I wish I had 1/100th of his skill. _________________ 1956 Oval/Ragtop |

The Huge Bug appears in a new video from Jay Leno's garage:

It comes in at the 27:46 mark and includes scenes of Jay driving it, with the original '60 cabriolet alongside. Very cool! _________________ Gone but not forgotten: 1950 Hoffman split (restored in 1966) - another 1950 Hoffman split (restored in 1996) |
