As an executive for the Acura branch of American Honda, Doug Danuser is probably a lot like most of us, with the one notable exception that part of his job puts him behind the wheel of some of the hottest new Hondas and Acuras on the market today (and in the near future). Despite that, he still chooses to run errands and putter around in the Super. "I drive the Acuras during the week, and my wife Debby drives the VW. On Saturdays and Sundays, we switch." Doug's wife Debbie is an avid tennis player at their local country club, and on Fridays she plays on a league with the United States Tennis Association. Even with such posh surroundings and high-dollar Mercedes and BMWs at their disposal, her teammates always fight to see who gets to carpool in the "Bug."
When asked what he thought was the best part about owning a Volkswagen, Doug, proud owner of this 1972 Super Beetle Convertible, replied, "Owning a Volkswagen is a lot like owning a Harley Davidson ... either you get it or you don't." Well, Doug gets it, as the list of contributors to his project reads like a who's who of the VW industry.
...
Everything was just rebuilt, cleaned up or powdercoated," Doug assured us.
...
Doug feels the paintwork is the single strongest feature on this car, and seeing the work that went into it, we'd have to agree.
...
Danuser claims a 14 ... 14 minutes, 10 seconds, that is! This is one restored Volkswagen you won't see burning up its tires in the drag strip staging area. It is what it is, and that's a full-blooded street cruiser and show stopper.
"I just wanted a beach car, but I ended up with a Boulevard cruiser," Doug stated, but doesn't seem disappointed in the least. Interestingly, he credits Trends with supplying him with all the tech information he needed to put this car back on the road and car show greens.
"VW Trends was my primary informational support during the project," he said. "I would read about the 'Sloppy Shifter,' then call Topline and tell them to put in the tunnel supports and bushings. You name the tech article ... I had it done!"
It seems that someone is listening after all, Doug.
