My good friend Paul Dwyer's restored 58 Coupe. He has owned the car around 40 years now and just added the final touches to a full pan off resto, it had a prior pan on resto back in the 80's. Other than the wheels and brakes not being stock, the car is as delivered new and only has period accessories including Okrassa kit.

Looks an awful lot like Danny Gabbard's 57 from the 80's

I am happy to announce that I am now part of this exclusive group of lowlight owners. Mine is a 58 manufacture in 57. I just got it NOV 11,2018.
All my life I dreamt of having one and it came with the color I like most which is brilliant red.
I also currently own a 54 oval rag beetle

Nice pictures Udo
Wish we can do that here but winter has started.
Udo do you know the paint code of the cream white center of the steel rims?
I will have mine sandblasted and then powder coated and match that combo that came from the factory.
Thanks
