Awesome BoB! Is the green patina'd beetle with flat hubcaps the starting point for the other pictures - the wood body stripped of paint and one of the 'finished' versions (either brown/white' or blue/cream car)? |

Hi jack1448,
The green patina'd beetle with flat hubcaps is current and original (awaiting restoration ??).
The one showing wood with orange is still under restoration.
The blue one above the fire truck is original (awaiting restoration ??).
The brown/white & blue/cream car are other cars that have been restored. _________________ Hacksaw BoB

Thanks Hacksaw-BoB. I love the patina on the green bug, and hope they don't restore it unless the green is already a repaint.
The blue one above the fire engine - and all the vehicles on the rack - have different wheels. Appears to be metal/rubber as opposed to the wood wheels on green beetle. |
