Other than our VW the reason why we visit this website to talk and ask questions about our VW. What other cars do you have in your collection if it is showing it or driving it on the weekend let us know what you have. A lot of you know that I like all type of hot rods or either original doesn't matter as long as we enjoy what we have is what makes the hobby very interesting. If you have pictures to post that would be cool to. Other than my stock 64 beetle 67 kombi 52 split 66 ghia ( Deja vu ) 65 vw drag car and a 1958 NSU Prinz. I have been working on my 1932 Ford all steel V12 hot rod for the last 6 years and my plans are to have this car done this year as I have a few other projects waiting for me. Last June I had found the car I had been looking for 27 years ago it was a 1958 Toyopet and parked in a barn in Calousa Calif not too many people know what is a Toyopet . In 1958 they had shipped their first cars in the US 287 Toyopet and 1 Land Cruiser . Not too many of them survived as a lot of them were not very fast on the freeways and customers were not to happy with their performance but customers were able to bring their car back to the dealer and get refunded. Some of these cars were shipped back to Japan or were pushed over the side into the ocean rumors has it. As of today only 4 of them are know in the US I am lucky to have 2 of them one in all original condition with only 48,000 miles and the other a parts car. The oldest one belong to a owner of a dealership in the bay area the second oldest is the one that I own and the third one is in the museum in Torrance California. Lets have everyone share some of their other hobby cars and stories.
Thanks

Oh, I have a few other non VWs laying around. This one is a stock, unrestored 1953 English Ford Thames panel. 46k original miles, and purchased from the original owner. Sign painting is still current, add a 619 area code to that phone number and you will still get the El Cordova Garage on Coronado Island (near San Deigo). Also have a 1954 Popular 2-door and a '49 Ford Australian Tourer, and, and ......

Yeah deano, what are you waiting for There are not enough anglia gassers. Along with the 56 beetle I have a 1986 gti for daily driving and a 1988 f150 to haul dirtbikes. But I plan on selling the gti and the truck to buy a new ranger soon. |
