List Vehicle/s (Year/Model):
1961 Ragtop Beetle
Describe Special Features/ Options/ Modifications:
My ’61 Ragtop is a single family-owned beetle. It was bought and imported into the USA by my Dad in 1962. It has the original Gulf Blue color and has a custom Sewfine interior. It is stock with the exception of front disc brakes, ’62 hood springs, and a Pertronix electronic ignition. Restoration completed in Spring 2014.
How did you get interested in Volkswagens?:
My Dad drove me home from the hospital in a 1958 ragtop beetle, and as a child I rode around in the back seat. When I got older, I attended a VW Bug-Out at the Old Dominion Speedway, Virginia, and have been hooked ever since.
Other Interests:
I enjoy participating in all types of car shows, shopping at antique flea markets, gardening, dog walking, and taking pictures of cars and wildlife with my Canon G11.
