| Here is a brief history of myself and my interest in Volkswagen Beetles. | |
|---|---|
| My wife and I (Bruce and Tracy Hildebrand) |  |
| 1959 - My first Volkswagen Beetle experience...coming home from the hospital in the families 58 Beetle. Doesn't my grandma Ruby look proud! At age one...In the family Beetle, already an enthusiast. |  |
| I can remember laying in the luggage compartment looking out the back window at the sky! Boy have times changed since then...But you know, the Volkswagen Beetle is the only thing that stayed the same! 1962 - 3 yrs. old with my sister and our Volkswagen Truck. |  |
| My earliest memory of wanting to get into a certain trade, happened when I was 8 years old. A gentleman drove into our yard driving a shiny new 68. It turned out the fellow had bought the car as a wreck and had repaired and painted it himself. I knew right then and there that I wanted to be an Autobody Technician. |  |
| In 1982 I came across a picture in a Volkswagen publication that illustrated a car that had been built in Germany in the late 40's. A 2 seater Volkswagen convertable, something I had never seen before. I later learned that this car was called a Hebmueller. Only about 6 or 7 hundred of these cars had been built before the factory was destroyed in a fire. I thought to myself 'Wouldn't it be great if someone were to try and resurrect this type of car, something with the same sort of flavor'. I also had an interest in custom creations, and I arrived at the decision that if someone were to do this, it should be more modern with a sort of "CalLook" to it. We started marketing and producing the Eurosport KitCar in 1983. Kitcar conversion installed on a '71 Volkswagen Super Beetle. |  |
