Ok, I'm probably a little insane, and maybe have watched Herbie a few too many times, but that Bug looks truly happy in that photo.

| thank you so much for sharing you story and photos.Reading it brought back a flood of memories of when I was growing up helping my grandmothers brother work on the maintance of his 1956 oval he owned.He bought it new in '56 and owned it till his death in 2003.The car was willed to his son and then sold soon after.Take care and continue success with your car |

Hey man. Sorry for bringing up this old thread, I just stumbled across it and was just wondering if you still have the 56 and how it's doing? It's a beautiful car!

It's incredible what is still out there, and the out-of-the-way places they can be found at.
That interior is fantastic! Congrats to you and your dad.
