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!!

Looking great!

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.

Yes I too followed Jerome working on this oval. 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!
