I've sold all 3 of these cars, but I owned the two on the right for several years. Amy owned her oval window for about 2 years...I sold it on ebay for her and it went to Lovesville, Virgina (or something cute like that).]]> John Snell photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 03:33:36 -0500 http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56wwell.jpg.html http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56wwell.jpg.html
The car was originaly from a very dry climate.]]> John Snell photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 03:33:36 -0500 http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56amysJAC.jpg.html http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56amysJAC.jpg.html
This is right after Amy bought the car. She moved it from the swap meet area to the car show and won her first trophy right there!]]> John Snell photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 03:33:36 -0500 http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56bugskylines.jpg.html http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56bugskylines.jpg.html
This is one of my most favorite pictures ever. That's Minneapolis by sunset in the reflection. Thank you, thank you very much. I'm proud and happy. If you would like a print, offer me some moola and perhaps I'll get a run of 'em made up...]]> John Snell photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 03:25:04 -0500 http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/suncemet.jpg.html http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/suncemet.jpg.html
Amy took this photo of her car in the graveyard near her house. The car still had the original 6 volt electrical system.]]> John Snell photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 03:33:36 -0500 http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56intrear.jpg.html http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56intrear.jpg.html
This was really a nice car. Very nice interior, eh?]]> John Snell photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 03:17:43 -0500 http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56inside.jpg.html http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56inside.jpg.html
That is one great-looking vintage dash board. It's not the kind of dash you wanna smack your head on though.]]> John Snell photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 03:17:43 -0500 http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56amysRear.jpg.html http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56amysRear.jpg.html
This beautiful car was my girlfriend Amy's VW Beetle. She bought it with only 58,000 original miles. We drove it to Detroit for a Vintage VW Show and on the way back the odometer flipped 60,000. It was sort of sad to watch those numbers turn. Amy took this photo in a graveyard by her house.]]> John Snell photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 03:17:43 -0500 http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56frontnew.jpg.html http://vintagevwcars.com/gallery/v/cars-sold/1956oval/56frontnew.jpg.html
There is no rust on the car, and it is in super mechanical condition. We drove it to the Detroit Vintage Show this spring with NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER. That was nearly a 1700 mile trip! (It was a real sad sight watching the odometer pass 60,000!) Not original are the following: The hood has the raised VW emblem, correct for early 60's. Tires are radials in good condition, but are not the original bias ply. Engine runs a 009 distributor. Door panels are 1958 style. The front apron has been replaced. None of these things are anything your girlfriend would notice.]]> John Snell photo Sat, 25 Nov 2006 03:17:43 -0500
