Judging by the wheels, stance, muffler, and deck lid, I'd say that photo isn't exactly vintage.
Nice shot, though. _________________ Gone but not forgotten: 1950 Hoffman split (restored in 1966) - another 1950 Hoffman split (restored in 1996) |

I'd say his right hand is in his pocket. _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.

Well the pictures showed up last night. Probably removed because they didn't have a VW in them. Oh well, I tried. |

It's amazing how a couple of clicks in Photoshop can bring a badly faded photograph back to life.
