Got this car in earlier 2011, Joanna has been a fan of our work for a couple years now, she touched base with me in 2010 wanting an oval window ragtop. Well we found one in St. Paul MN with most of the hard work done already.

When we got the car is was already blasted down to metal and gutted, so off to the paint shop! We just recently got the car back from paint and assembly has started.

Here are some pictures in the gallery below.

Pics Updated 5-3-2012: Car Received Body/paint work from Prestige Auto Body in Pearl River NY. She is about ready for paint!

Joe touched base with me toward the end of 2010 to restore his 1968 VW Beetle. So he towed it up to me to check out. I gave him the upfront advice to not restore the 68 and go with a bug I had in stock, it will be worth much more in the long run. Another High end Show driver body off Resto. What is great about this car is that this was the one showcased on the news for some historical pieces we found (below).

This was another VW from the Legend in MS Oskar Zernickow

I also have a PDF flier that you can download HERE.

So anyone in and around the Palm Beach FL. area come stop in to see the Air Cooled rides.  My sister’s restaurant brings NY Italian style Pizza and food to Fl. By all means they NEED IT!  haha =o)  She has a beautiful wine bar as well, many wines imported from around the globe.

Here is a short video of her place presented on local TV in Palm Beach, the place is state of the art!

The show will also be filmed (BY ME!) edited with music titles & FX, as usual, and then presented for the world to see.

Here is a sample video of a show that I shot this past year in Cali, called the Vintage VW Treffen. My show in Fl. will be shot the same way.

I also shot the first gathering this past March 4th 2012 at my sisters place, check it out below.

The 1st showing was a success, everyone loved the atmosphere and of course the food, and asking for another gathering.  SO we are doing it! We are hoping this 2nd event will be even bigger!

Spread the Word! Hope to see some of my followers there.  This is a VW gathering for anyone, come chat, relax, mingle, show off your DuB, eat some great food, and have some fine wine.

The restaurant is suitable for children as well.

See ya there,

Chris Vallone

Take a look below.

Found this car for a nice couple in South NJ.  They came into my shop wanting a bug, but could not afford the “Build-A-BuG” program.  So we had to try and find something to their liking, preferably already painted.  They were particularly looking for a yellow or tan bug, no frillz.

Sure enough I found just what they were looking for in New Mexico.  A “Shantung Yellow” beetle with tan interior.  She just needed a few things and she was ready to roll.

The cars out there are awesome, so dry! =o)  It is worth it to ship them in.

Check out the SMALL SLIDESHOW HERE.

Barry from PA contacted me earlier this year to get an Oval Ragtop bug for a “Build-A-BuG” project.  So I asked “find one for ya?” Piece of CAKE!  Easily went online and found a Cali rag that already has had a lot of the work done already.  I love getting cars from Cali, they are dry and usually rust free, this one is no exception.  Barry will be going to a color scheme that many of you are familiar with, Strato Silver. We start later this year.

Stay tuned,
