![]() His 47 wagon is a real eye
catcher.
Orlando says
"The radio is from a 1973 VW (Hitachi transistorized)
with 6-12 volts and neg-pos switches. Works perfectly and
draws
very little current from the battery. I adapted it to the dash board."

![]() It has been Pro Streeted but you can't see the tires in the shadows. |
![]() His Father was
involved as the
builder or driver or both. The only thing I have to identify the
pictures were the labels and those were the name Johnny and Burt.
Any body recognize the pictures or car? I believe
they were
taken in the 60s.
