Looking for a Picture from VW Trends OCT 1995

vndin

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of building a vw rat rod and was looking though old pictures and magazines for inspiration. I started thinking about some of the pictures that I had torn out of magazines and hung in my room as a kid and after thinking for a while I found one such article that I had torn out and am currently looking for another picture of it. (bc my old magazine copy is only the pic and rather beat up)

The pic came from the 1995 october vw trends magazine.
the article was 'coral terror' it was a 58 oval window that was coral red and ford off white two toned. I would love to find a digital copy of this pic as I have been unable to do so.
any help would be awesome.... I really want to get a good copy and make a poster of it to hang in my garage as it was and still is MY ABSOLUTE DREAM CAR.

I had a look...sorry, I only had April and June of 1995 VW Trends. Lots of Hot VW mags from back then, not many Trends though.

Gordo.

Thanks for looking... if anyone else has that issue and can scan the pic or can find it online, I've looked and my search has turned up everything but the actual picture I'm looking for. the cover had a blue squareback on it.

If it is indeed that issue, I probably have a couple of them floating around....there's a Nile beige '55 sunroof in that issue, that I know quite well, it lived in my garage for quite some time until I sold it to help finance a debt-free move to NorCal

After I posted the pic, I looked through it, and sure enough, the car he mentions is in it.

I don't want to bother with scanning it, but I'd be happy to mail him the copy I have if he wants it. It's been with about 100 others in a storage tub in the garage for as long as there's been a garage. I doubt I'd miss it.

Hmmm....
That was over a year ago. I had it in my desk for ages, and may have just tossed it. I'll have a look around. If I have it, it's yours for the price of postage.

Sorry man. Went through every nook and cranny and couldn't come up with it. I cleaned out my desk when I got laid off in February, and probably tossed it then.

A quick search in the internet and found this thread. I’m also looking for this specific magazine (been the reference for our bug’s color wayback when we restored it circa 1999). Luckily, found this preserved October 1995 issue of VW Trends.

I have a crate of VW mags someone left at the dump, in individual zip lock bags, and will take a look this weekend if I have a copy.
