It looks like Jeff Kawaguchi's sedan... but it's probably not! Jeff's car was featured on the cover of the February '76 issue of Hot VWs (California Look Special). It had bigger windows ('66), buggy bars, and a few different details (look at the direction of the wiper blades). It also had black and not blue plates.

[dyno don]

haydon bros was black and oval window

I thought they'd got a '58 - '64 bug too, without the signwriting? Could have been in one of the VW Greats magazines?

that's that oval  in the vw greats 

[deano]

The Bug in question was NOT Jeff Kawaguchi, as his car was candy red (it may have been crashed by that time). It also was NOT Whit Haydon's car, which was dark brown in color, American mags, and was an Oval.

deano  ,hot vws never took pictures of that car or doing a report??? i just saw 1 or 2 pictures of haydon bros in hot vws

[deano]

Other than a photo taken at one of the Bug-In's, Whit's car was never shot for HVWs. Freelancer, Don Emmons took the photos for VW Greats. As I recall about that time, Whit had taken that car off the road, to race NHRA Modified Compact and of course, the Bug-Ins (J/Gas?). So, there wasn't much opportunity to do it. The lettering on the door came later, which really turned the corner into a full blown racecar. It was one of those cars that should of been in HVWs, but wasn't, kinda like Mike Billings' awesome car.

here's the report from vw greats , but i can't see the car you 're talking

[deano]

I forgot that when Don shot the photos of Whit's car, it was already lettered. This was the final stage of Haydon's car, before selling it. Back then, HVWs and VWG had so few color pages for features, it sure didn't do many of these early cars justice in black and white, and newsprint paper quality. But at least they were featured for us to enjoy years later.

[speedwell]

dean just a question : i remember buying the issue jan 91 with the IP2 in cover ,hot vws made a new report from the old one  aug 71, if I remember somebody to find the films and you republished a report on ip2,my question is: would not be this possible to make a heading but color this timei of certain old  cal looks in the hot vws

[deano]

Not sure what you mean... I found the original color slides from 1971, and we published some of them in the '91 story. Now, when Jim Wright purchased the rights for Hot VWs, he received none of the film, prints or negatives used prior to that time. However, I did find a few 3-ring binders with a number of slides, mostly 35mm, but some 2-1/4s, and this is where I found the IP2 images. There are more photos of IP2 that haven't been shown, but I'll leave those to another day.

Not sure what you mean...

i want to said , when you took pictures for the report you had the film ???the films were in color but now where are they may be you could can be to again remake article on these cars which formerly appeared  in black and white , for example to make a new heading retro or return to the past

Kind of like the 20 years ago article that used to pop up now and then in HVWs. It would be cool to see some of the old VW articles rerun. Maybe even as a HVWs greats special edition.
