| ![]() Here is something unique. A group of 15 kids all ages between 5 to 7 years have painted this 1957 Bug Cabriolet in commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of their school The Cathedral & John Connon School in Mumbai. I must admit i'm quite impressed with the effort of these youngsters. What do the vintage lovers think? Pics courtesy: A dear friend whose kids were also part of this activity. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

A hardtop might have had greater impact for this purpose I'd think. How long will it remain in this combo? | |

| ![]() Wow, Nice car, though nothing much of originality is left on it, but still as everyone says, this might be one of the oldest cabrio around. What a fantastic job of paint done by the kids,(Are you sure Dippy that the age group is correct) It cant be 5-7 yr old kids. I hope the paint job is reversible. ![]() Last edited by PAVAN KADAM : 6th April 2010 at 19:10. |

Not being too picky, very simple to anyone's eye, the Body chrome beadings are a straight lift from the Fiat. Lets leave that and enjoy the fine art on that car. ![]() | |
