Here it is ladies and gentlemen, Cultwagen’s first featured Ghia. Kelly’s Ghia is definitely worthy of the spot here on the front page, unfortunately there isn’t a ton I can say about it. The history on this car is long forgotten, as well as undocumented. Of course there are the typical myths of every car, and this car has its share, but making up the history on this car would be like writing a fictional biography. So, here is what I can actually say about it. Continue Reading »

I remember about 2 years ago seeing this rusty ass bug on the Internet and telling myself. ” DAMN that thing must be rotted to shit!” But, looked fresh non the less. Sam’s 62 is one of my favorite bugs out there with the personalty it has is it stands apart from all the perfectly painted cookie cutter bugs you see at all the shows. I wanted to get “The Rust Slut” on here for some time now. As for the back ground I’ll let Sam tell it.

Tucking some taller than average tires, this original Turkis Sports-mobile is a prime example of how to roll a classic beauty static dropped. It’s fully equipped with all the essentials of a low bus including original Safaris, and combined with its’ color combo of OG Turkis and rust makes this a perfect candidate for a Cultwagen feature.

This logo panel has a lot of history. When I asked Adam if he could give me some history behind his bus, he wrote it so good that I couldn’t make it any better.

“The history I know on the Bus is what I’ve been told from the repair shop where I bought it in Greenwood, Mississippi. Joe Wexler of Greenwood, bought the Bus new in 1964 from Glass Motors, Inc. on Hwy 82 East in Greenville, MS, which is about an hour drive from Greenwood. It was the closest VW dealer at the time. Mr Wexler used the Bus for his business on West Johnson St in downtown Greenwood, City Laundry & Cleaners. For the next 16 years, it was used for the business until a major engine failure occured in 1980 and he sold the Bus to Eddie at Eddie’s Foreign Car Repair, also in Greenville. Eddie couldn’t remember what went wrong with it, although it is seized, and since it was 1980 and Buses had little value, it just sat in the junkyard there in central Mississippi as trees sprouted up around it as 27 years passed.

I’ve seen the sign on name rustytortoise on Ost Kuste from time to time. Envious, I looked over Jonathan’s pictures of this all OG patina 61. So I contacted John to see if he would be interested in having me do a feature on his bug. After a few emails this is what came of it…

Jake standing next to his 61

I’ve known Jake since I interviewed him on his 66. Noticing this bus the day we went up to shoot his bug, I was in awe of this Kombi and I knew I would be including it on our featured car list in the near future. Most of you might recognize this bus or have at least heard about it, so here is a little bit of history Jake was able to dig up on this pavement dragger. Continue Reading »

Anything with a name like Volksfest builds up a big image for itself. I had heard a lot about this show from people who went last year, so I had to make sure I was there this year.

With everything from shiny split window bugs, to hammered single cab bay window buses, and an out door supermarket of new and used parts to pick up, this years P.I.R. Volkswagen show and swap meet fits perfectly with the definition of the word variety. Continue Reading »
