1964 Beetle
Five 1964 VW Beetle chassis-on restorations were completed in a six month window for a VW advertising campaign. The campaign also included a Type II 23 Window Bus (chassis-off restoration), which is also shown below. The campaign was highlighted on VW’s U.S. media site, entitled “#TBT: The Volkswagen ‘Max’ Beetle” (July 9, 2020).
