I'd say that '66 is very pre cal look. I've never seen that air cleaner on the Zenith before, very cool.

I have all the other images that go with those. I wish i could show them to you but I legally can't. 

The Jablonski images were a straight car feature intended for HOT ROD magazine but I don't recall seeing it there. The same goes for the Economotors images--they're in the HOT ROD archives but I don't remember seeing those specific images in that title. However,  there are more images from that same shoot in another Peterson archive from a business-to-business publication.

There are a number of VW features from HOT ROD, Rod & Custom, and Car Craft. One is of a car with Intec fiberglass pieces that I'm collecting parts to somewhat replicate.
