When Bill Crawford redid his car, little did he realize that he would make heads spin. The 83-year old retired Chevron senior marketing representative has made Anchorage, Alaska, his home.

Crawford purchased this iconic car from his widowed aunt

Crawford grew up developing a soft corner for one of his uncles named Al Guerard. His uncle was the owner of the 1960 Volkswagen makes Karmann Ghia. After the demise of his uncle in 1981, Crawford expressed his desire to purchase the car from his widowed aunt, and the rest is history.

Knowing well how much the car meant to Crawford, his aunt gave it to him. The car was picked up from Pebble Beach, California, where his aunt resided. On a barge, the vehicle was transported to Alaska, his home.

Stating that Alaska experiences four seasons, Crawford added that he moved into the city with his wife in 1977. During the summer season that year, he was somewhat surprised to learn that several residents owned many classic cars.

Alaska is home to not so many Karmann Ghias’s

In Alaska, one can glimpse of classic cars like Porsche s, Volks Wagen’s, and British cars. At the same time, the city of Alaska is home to not so many Karmann Ghias’s.

Crawford’s car has won many awards at car shows

Stating that Crawford drives his car on sunny days, he adds that his iconic vehicle has won many awards at car shows in the last four decades. The trophies, too, have a home.

Then, come summer, the owner hits the road with his car.
