Blankenberge is a small tourist town on the Belgian coast, but back in the day it housed a real tour operator with real buses… Three 1953 barndoor deluxes…. babies where are you now????

Jos picked this picture up on the internet and was happy to share with all of us!

Happy Sunday to all of BBT blog lovers!

….. by word of mouth…. somewhere in California, unfortunately to close to the ocean…

Two Type 3 squarebacks a 63 and a 69, can you see them in the first picture?

Unfortunately too far gone to carry home

I liked the color combo very well, but not the rust…:(

The 69 was the parts car…. both cars sitting here since 1980.

I like the story, and the fact it was a first owner car, unfortunately he didn’t store it good enough…:(

Better luck next time?

These nail trims can be found at the outside of the hood with Type 1 and Karmann Ghia convertibles.
They make a nice finish and the outer covering will fit nicely on the frame.
