Flashback: Kai's Custom

Kai Aulankoski's '57 Oval featured in November 1993 issue of Volksworld Magazine. Kai's Oval was one of the very first (if not first) hot rodded Volkswagen I've ever seen and is one of the cars that got me interested in Volkswagens. This issue was already sold out when I got to know Kaitsu at WCA meetings and learned about the feature, but luckily found the issue from ebay.co.uk finally last week :)

West Coast Aircoolers member Jani built this '66 Beetle in early 90's as one of the very first Resto Cal / Resto Custom rides built along the trends represented in Hot VWs or VW Trends magazines. The '66 is pictured here in American Car Show while it was in Jussi Jyr�nk�'s ownership in Kuplapaja and sold forward.

Flashback: Finnish Looker

This scalloped Looker from Helsinki built by dude called Jukka was photographed in 1993 American Car Show. It was featured also in Street&Race Magazine at that time along another scalloped Looker that the same guy built.


He built also this '64 Beetle, photographed here next my '63 Beetle in 1998 VW Open.
