DIY 1952 Beetle

In October we had the NOS Revell kit of a VW Samba. This month we found a 1952 VW postcard that allows you to build your own beetle. Bring out the scissors and glue!

Gilbarco Restoration 1

I found a few petrol pumps at Davy's Garage in Carlow. They were VW dealer in the 1950s. The one in the middle is a model 296 Gilbarco which I will restore.

NOS 1958 VW Transporter "Samba"

Bought a CKD 1958 VW Transporter "Samba". Well not the real thing but a genuine 1950s Revell kit.

BERU & BOSCH

These 2 signs arrived today from Germany after a long wait. The BERU one is early '60s I think and the BOSCH is definitely a '50s sign as it has the scripted BOSCH logo on the lenses.

2 Old Irish Rally Pictures

Spotted these 2 pictures on the website of the Kilkenny Motor Club. Both cars seem to be late 1950s models. Some driving skills there!

Thank you to the Kilkenny Motor Club for allowing me to use these pictures.

1960s VW Dealer Lightup Sign

Got this one in a few weeks back. It's a late 1960s VW lightup sign from the UK. Was exported to the US by a collector and now back in Europe and in my collection. Just means I have to get the electrics back to 230 Volt.
