ONE-UPPED - WHEN MASTER INSTALLERS COMBINE

摘要

What happens when a respected audio installation shop gets their hands on a vehicle previously owned by a car audio master? If you're lucky, you get something like this Bug, an audio masterpiece that you'll see whenever you drive by Speaker Works in Orange, CA, Speaker Works first got involved with this particular VW over a decade ago, when the previous owner, Rich Coe (formerly of AudioMobile and Alpine), brought it in for its black/mica over 1947 Willy's Green paint job, Coe was rushing to finish the build, with its custom dash, speaker enclosures, running boards and fenders, for CES. A couple Consumer Electronic Shows and advertising spots later, Coe retired the Beetle from the circuit, Even if he had lost interest in it as a show car, you'd think he'd jump at the opportunity to tour around in a great-sounding daily driver But with all its modifications, the only way it could get you somewhere is if you climbed in while it was being hauled to the next show, Therefore, the ignored trailer queen sat in a garage for about nine years until Eric Holdaway, son of Roger Holdaway, who started Speaker Works in 1978, convinced Coe to sell it to him.
