went down and checked this out today. Cute little car. Originally beige. Might be a 58 or 59. Not sure enough on the difference- I just knew my 58. Wasn't my car but could be a sweet little car with some attention. Left a note asking the owner to give me a shout. Will wait and see if I hear back. Thanks so much for the tip. Was so great to just look at a car so close to my old '58. Was a great reason to do a drive on a sunny day from Courtenay. . Really, really appreciate you mentioning it.

Sorry it wasn't the right one. Glad you got to see it though. It does look like a fairly decent car.

bought the car and got her home tonight! Thanks so much CrazyBrit for your help in finding her. She isn't the car I had but definitely the little sister of my '58. She's a real gem. Was great to meet you and see your bus and Ghia. Sweet cars! You're a talented mechanic and body-worker. So great to be connected with like-minded and great people on this site.

Great to meet you too - I'm glad it worked out. Hopefully we'll get to see your new car out and around next year. Thanks for the compliments. Talented and mechanic / body worker have never been used in the same sentence when talking about me before!🤣

Glad to hear you found a '58! Also glad you didn't try to buy mine Let me know how the brakes are on yours. I pulled the rear drum brakes off mine and replaced them with discs. Still have the backing plates to drums complete. -Dave

hi Dave. She's actually a '60 with a '68 engine in her but she looks, sounds, smells and feels like my old friend. I'm super pleased. I'll just keep adding to the fleet- yours is next. Good to know about the brakes- thanks. Need to spend some time looking her all over. I think that's this weekend's tasks. So looking forward to taking a closer look at her! -Drew

Hello Drew and Terry,
Just read your messages and thought I’d chime in ;-) Perhaps, since we all live close to each other and have similar interests/projects, we should connect in person? Drew, Shelley mentioned today that you just acquired a cool, vintage bug. Love to see that. And Terry, I’ve passed by your place a couple of times in the summer but you weren’t home. Shel and I just acquired a fun car. It’s a 70 Ghia. It’s a nice 10 footer and decent driver. Anyways, you are both welcome to drop in anytime. Retired, with the gift of time!
Cheers, Don
