Not sure about that.. I understand that this is not in everyones taste, but I think it's refreshing to see some splits that are different from the crowd of buses with slammed suspension and cool wheels. Can't help loving this look.. It's a periode look that I think captures the seventies California VW scene as much as any looker. Not saying that everyone should cut their sound arches and mount 10" rims in the back, but I think it's cool that this look gets some following in todays world of slick "internet-look" VW's |

dislike them because they are an historic false. just like cal look sedan with trims.
the nice thing in being an old cars customizers is trying to recreate a project that could have been done during those years....and in those years...you can see the pictures...they cut fenders...

Sad to see all of those cut up Buses. On the other hand, those models bring back a lotta memories. My Dad and I built many airplane and car models in the late '60s & early '70s. Those Bus ones look like the kits that were designed by Big Deal. GREAT artist. If I remember, the same guy that did the Auto Haus artwork. We built a couple of those VW ones... good times!

Correct, like I said Dave Deal, cartoonist and petrolhead, did stuff for HotVWs too I think and I aslo heard he helped on the Disney Pixar movie "Cars" AMG - MONOGRAM plastic models and some great die cast ones........"Big Deal" and "Zingers" they made some huge versions too for shows, bugs, buggies and the busses. Will dig out my pics |

The building in the background of that baja bug looks like many of the elementary schools in So Cal.

Dave Deal - Zinger bug !!! I don't believe that the Zingers were designed by Dave Deal. Yes they were, these were large scale models used to promote the models he designed, corvettes, hot rods and VWs etc. His name is attached to them. I think he even owned a similar crazy Zinger Corvette that he could acyually drive !!! insane. |
