Saturday morning in the swap meet and show area


Wolfsburg resident Tobias Pleines' awesome red Oval on the right made to Volksworld, gongrats to the owner and really something to look forward in the mailbox. Along with locals there was an impressive line of cars with DKT and DFL decals.

Der Autobahn Scrapers


The unrestord black Oval of David Balland with Crestline wheels looks bit like the Ron Fleming car in Seume's Cal Look book. One of my favourites was the pearl white 62/63(?) car of Thomas Mickael with unrestored chromed Sprint Stars, I like the idea about clean fast non-show-off car.

DAS Muppet Racer





Early sunroof Oval of Philipe Fonseca with 356B brakes, NOS Rader wheels (from Kobus, who else..), cabrio lid etc.

Here is something for Hee-bah-bah.


Actually, I am seriously thinking about having a German Looker for the next project. I really liked the lines of the car on the right. I still dislike 1302/03 (to me they're un-necessary crossing between the real-Beetle and first generation Polo/Golf) models as before, but these two..
