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

DSC00671

Proud to announce that my 1951 Split Window Beetle with the rare crotch coolers has been accepted to the 2015 Ramapo Concours D’ Elegance!  The show is June 6-7th.

This is now TWO Concourses in one year that we have been accepted to, this is the first for us!  My lil Stallion “Turns Heads!”

So two weekends Back to Back, the Greenwich Concourse on May 31st, then the following weekend is the Ramapo show, June 6th and 7th.  WE ARE STOKED!

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!
