Classic VW BuGs 1951 Split Accepted to 2015 Greenwich Concours D’ Elegance

Proud to announce that my 1951 Split Window Beetle with the rare crotch coolers has been accepted to the 2015 Greenwich Concours D’ Elegance!  Our day of showing will be Sunday May 31st.

We have been working on this split over the last few months to get it period correct.  We recently found a 1951 25hp motor that has just been dropped into it.  I bought the car with a 36hp motor, we took that out and replaced it with the 25hp.

Previous owner had the wrong seat rails in the car which gave the seats an unusual tilt, we are fixing that now.

I have also gotten new rear seat period pillows and assist straps.

We also have the period correct semaphores coming in as well.

Tightened up the interior a little more as well.  So now I feel somewhat behind the resto, ha!  =o)

4th straight year heading to the Concours!
