@@blackbluestudio6338it was staged but it's like those family pics years later type thing and it is genuinely pretty sweet that they are still together and whipping the same bug
Back in the 70's CHP had vehicle inspections along the side of the road, I was pulled in and my stock 62 bug didn't meet the requirements, after unloading all my tools and tire chains and getting the gas tank almost empty I went to the CHP office to get it signed off, the officer there had his tape measure, he told me to hold up the bumper, and said " looks good to me" .
There's so much that can be said about this sweet video. I don't know what's more mind blowing. That the classic VW is exactly the same after forty seven years, or that the two sweethearts haven't gained a single pound between them during the same time. This great piece of automotive nostalgia brought a tear to this old man's eye. 😢 And kudos to them too. They're still together after all those beautiful years. I love it❤️
So cool. Happened to 37 years ago in 1961 Karmann Ghia in SoCal. Too low, no wipers, no baffle in the stinger exhaust. Even got pulled over by police that were VW enthusiasts wanting to check it out!
Same here, but about motorcycles instead of cars. Back in the seventies I had a Kawasaki 900 Z-1 punched out to 1105 with a Yoshimura big bore kit and an open header. Custom painted and chromed to the max. Too fast, too loud, and too cool. Got pulled over so many times by interested cops and CHP just wanting to ask questions about such a cool and slightly illegal bike. Those are the kind of cops that give the police a good name. Note: If anyone says you can't bore out a 900 to 1105, they're right. I mated a head from a wrecked KZ 1000 to accomplished the task.
I was pulled over 364 times in one year in the same primer black 69 Bug back in the 80's. They never measured my fiberglass front end. But I did get them on harassment charges, they thought I was dealing drugs. NOT.!!! Just driving my Bug. I took it off the road with 325,000 miles on it. Fun times.
That's actually a really cool photo oh, that's awesome both dudes were around and willing to come back and take the picture again. It's so nice to see wholesome things on the internet.
Wow. Totally forgot about that! Had that exact issue up until probably ten years ago or so lost most of my old mags (including all my hot VW issues) to water/mold. Thanks for the throwback. Very cool recreation
Cheers from Southern California... Grew up in Westminster, Home of SILVA'S, Westminster Transmission and Santini ... As a kid.. more than a few, VW Cover Car's.. seen.. at these Shops.. never got old..
That's amazing. In some ways...we all transcend the dimensions of time but still visit the same places, and in some of those cases. The things (no matter what they are) they haven't changed much.
I'm very impressed that he kept that car in perfect condition for 55 years. And why not. It looks great. I had a '65 Cal Bug back in the day. Unfortunately it got in a wreck :(
I wish that I would of kept mine. I had a 72 baby blue Super Beetle and white 67 Beetle. I much preferred my 67 and I paid $500 for each one. Beautiful Bug by the way.
What? An old azz car and being hassled by the MAN? Also if ANYONE were to put they dirty feet on my classic interior you better believe the cops will show up🤬👹
Coolest car EVER made. Had a 63, 67 friend had the 57 Rag with heart lights. ALL stolen from our houses. Kill for my 67 back 1775 dual webs. Started every time and daily beach runs in hs in 70s. The 57 had a 1900 with drilled flywheel and special heads and duded out and flew with 2. Like pin your head back. He was an aircraft mech and ground up resto and hand sprayed deeeep purple. Miss those days.
I had a VW almost like that!! The side rear windows were covered with black carpet, no back seat! Had a Sun roof, and a wicked cool sound system! I used to drive around after I got off work, 2nd shift, and crank that mother up!! 1812 overture and whatever else I had on tape. I still miss that wee beasty! Not the car to drive if you were trying to not be noticed by the pd.
In the 1960-70s those lowered VWs were pulled over by cop and got tickets because headlights height were too low. We tried creating the scene of the cop tape measuring the height of the headlights, the iconic cover of the February 1975 issue of HotVWs Magazine with a famous car, the Aronson/Holmes California Look #1 1963 Ragtop, along with Jim Holmes - the owner in ’75. In the 1960-70s, those lowed VWs were pulled over by cops and got tickets because the headlights' height was too low. The day we did the photoshoot, this officer was a victim because he had no idea what we wanted him to do 😂 BTW, this officer was off-duty and helped us to replicate our Iconic cover page of the February 1975 edition photoshopping. Thankfully our local PD does an excellent job of keeping our town safe.

Oh là là ! Ce couple a toujours la même wv et ils n'ont pas divorcée. C'est tellement ultra rare en 2024. Félicitations à vous deux 🥰. Quelle est votre secret ?
I remember getting pulled over in a 64 bug, of course ours was a hell of a lot lower than that one, it was sitting on the bottom of the suspension, very rough ride but we looked super cool.
This is a perfect example how time is relative. 😢. My mom’s first car was a 84 Pontiac fiero SE fully loaded. She then had a 95 corvette pregnant with me then a 01 blazer FL. After that she had a 01 vw beetle GLX, 2004 Cadillac CTS 3.6, 2007 Nissan Armada, 2010 Kia Soul FUlly loaded. 2013 Kia SX T! She’s now driving a 2019 Atlas 3.6l VR6 and it’s incredible. Never buy anything less.
