Pictures from the Funfest - Oval Window Beetles
The Mid America Motorworks VW Funfest was held June 2-3, 2007. The theme of this year’s event was the 50th anniversary of the Oval Window Beetle’s.
The pictures here are from the large turn-out of oval window VW’s. Many were completely restored and beautifully done with custom interiors and engine modifications.
A beautiful two-tone restoration of a 50’s Beetle.
Convertable oval window.
I loved this two-tone style.
This was one of my favorites. Restored by Tim Hall, it is a 1955 restored oval window. I love the rear wheel covers and the bright red paint.
Another restoration by Tim Hall, this one was still in primer. However, it is a 1947 beetle. there is a hand-crank in the rear of the car to start the engine. It had a very sparse interior, but beautiful for the history.
Another one of my favorites. I guess there is something about a bright red VW Beetle that just grabs your attention. This engine was immaculate and covered in red and chrome.
The interior was just as amazing as the engine. The custom red and white interior just popped and made everything clean and well-organized.
Another nice Beetle interior. The exterior was a seafoam color with a red interior - interesting color choice, but it seems to work on these cars.
This was a fun find. An original Firestone “Car Cooler.” So they DID have air conditioning, eh?

Great pictures of beautiful beetles. What a pity that summer is over now and all those beetles will be back in their winter storage waiting to come out in the spring.
