Out of the blue i get an email from a guy living in California.
He has tracked me down via the samba and needs help with an issue of VW trends(May 1984).
Luckily for him I have a spare in prefect condition and now its flying through the air on the way to him as a gift. Why is he interested in this issue?
Well the blonde in the red bikini is his girlfriend.
This is what he told me:
"My gf is not a VW fan per say but she likes all cars. She was a KROQ bikini girl, a famous radio station in LA. And the
magazine contacted her to be in the shoot. Her name is Kara and she is referenced on the inside of the magazine, I think
she said page 4 or something. Back then her last name was Giddens. She still lives in LA.
The only VW she had was a new beetle convertible a few years back, but I had a 60 and 64 ghia. They are long
gone now, but I had some great times in that car.
The blonde in the white bikini was the the organizer of the shoot, and she is now married to Dr. Drew, a tv personality.
