Nothing better than Foxcrafts on a '50s VW Kabriolett. My car had the correct rear view mirror (Ser#201639*). Same trim rings plus other goodies.... before I sold it after 36 years of ownership!

Good luck with your sale!!

thanks for the message,
I will really miss that car for sure, but sometimes we have to make choices despite the amount of energy and love we put in those little car.

I am the proud new owner/caretaker of this gem since 01/2025. So happy to add this to my collection. Jerome did this car wonders and i hope to just carry on with the upkeep of it. Not sure i will add much here as to not spoil the thread of years of his upkeep.

The Toms River. I live 5 minutes from it but it runs through island heights and toms river before it dumps into the barnegat bay and other the other side it is south toms river, beachwood, pine beach, bayville and ocean gate. we were right on the border of bayville and ocean gate.

I had to go back a few pages and work my way forward to figure out how this lovely car came into your possession.

It's nice to see it go to a good home after all the work Jerome had put into the car. I had chimed in on his work as he worked over the front end of the car.
Jerome does really skillful work.

It's nice to see you out enjoying all your toys. I always read your posts.

If you had three more VW's you could drive one each day of the week. :wink:

When i got wind on Instagram that he may be selling it, i had to throw my hat in the ring. I knew he treated it well. He was a great caretaker of it. I am out of storage space or i would probably have more but i can honestly say that 4 is enough!!! Thanks for the kind words!

Took the Beetle over to the beach today. Got there at 845am and while unloading my chair, a woman in a maserati suv complimented the beetle. I roasted at the beach and left at 1230. Hit the farmers market and then headed home. good day here in NJ
