The Ultimate Home built Show stopper!! FUBAR if you don't know what that stands for Google it. But that's the story and the name behind Lyndon Creamers 1964 bug. He's owned this bug twice in the first time it was featured in Volksworld was around 2003 he sold. tichanged hands several times. It was wreckled and changed up from when he owned it. He later and re-purchased the car back in 2013. He decided to put it back in the show circuit but this time No holds barred. It was going to be an all out assult on the show circuit. He infact made quite the splash when it re-surfaced. Debuting it at Volks World show and requesting a indoor spot based on a single picture. Lyndon did it. He blew away the spectators with th finish of this 4 year (this time) labor of love. Lyndons also been working on a driver 56' Beetle. Look for more of Lyndon this year at a few shows.
