Sorry, I was out in the garage WORKING ON MY CAR..... Now, back to the forum. I redid the Feb' 75 issue cover with Scott Bakken a few years ago (I don't recall the exact issue right now...2/2001?). Same exact spot, some time of year, in front of the same apartments, etc. Only new/replacement Costa Mesa cop and newer police car, and instead of using Linda Dill, we used Gina Wright who also works for HVWs. The location is on Mendoza Drive, in Costa Mesa, off Baker near our office. I took Julian from Super VW Magazine there, and showed him where the cover was shot. They also did some photography there as well. Hallow ground for the California Look.

Found these pictures of the White Car. Were taken for the '75 issue by Jere Alhadeff. On a side note, have you heard anything from him lately?  Anyway, I have a few more shots taken of the car (8X10 B&W prints) that I could post if any interest. It takes a little Photo Shop work getting them here but "can do" if any one cares to see them.

Take care Deano! Grin

Yes, those photos were taken by Jere Alhadeff during the HVWs photo session, but were not used. I just remembered that Jake's car did not have a key ignition.... only a push button to start the car! Super Clean.

Those are some great photos. I noticed the antenna. Did you have a radio in the glovebox? 8 track player?Just curious. Also were those EMPI seats?

Whatīs the story about the different dash plates? The Dashes in post #34 and #42 are clearly not the same. The latter has only two small gauges while the other one has three.
The one in #42 looks cracked just above the "map" light. Was that why it was replaced? Jim?

EDIT:On closer inspection it seems like on the "first" version the plexiglass is riveted to the dash itself, perhaps explaining the stress causing the crack while the other one MAY be using regular philips screws?

I do believe Jake replaced the dash panel since it was cracked around some of the rivets. Possibly post crash dash? Good eye. Does the driver's seat upholstery look different as well?

You are correct deano, itīs not even the same seat IMO. Did this car have a back seat? Was that too retrimmed in the fat bisquit pattern?
Where there two of those too since thereīs been two different style front seats?

Yes, the tunes were in the glove box & as I remember there was a combo of an 8 track / radio at one time  (again "not to date myself).
The frame of the seats were custom wielded (built) but can't remember where the fiberglass buckets came from.  Greg Aronson might remember, I can ask him the next time I see him...

Your right Deano about the dash.  The whole dash was replaced after the crash so might look slightly different. Rivets were used in both cases. Some pictures were taken earlier, I believe before the glass buckets were installed and before I owned the car.  The car always had the fiberglass buckets when I had it. The passenger side hinged forward so someone could get into the back, which rarely happened. Smiley
