Well… she is back! I bought this convertible 1954 beetle a few years ago from its original family out of CT.
The fella I sold it to never got around to restoring her. I felt bad and regretted selling this rare gem. I kept tabs with the fella and told him “if you ever have a change of heart about the bug, please let me be the first to buy her back.” So that is what happened! Life got in the way, and the bug sat just like the day it left my shop.
Well I am so proud to get this lil baby back, and I do plan on a full restoration within the next year or so.
