“It will break down some days. I dont want to worry about that,” says Manuel Campa.\r

Youre looking at a 1953 Volkswagen Beetle, a mass-produced marvel that is now quite the rare car, and its used by Campa as a daily driver. “I want to pick up my wife with it, I want to drive in the weekends with it, and have fun and enjoy. Its a car to have fun with,” he says.\r
\r
It might be silly for some people, says Campa, “but its a dream come true for me and Im super happy with the car.” \r
\r
A dream come true? Campa is a painter by trade, who honors classic cars, motorcycles, and bicycles on canvas. “For me, my passions are my cars, my toys, my brushes, my canvas, my studio,” he says, “and thats where I spend most of my days.”\r
\r
“The thing that not many people see is that you have to work very hard in your studio to make this happen…your painting is going to hang in someones house,” Campa says. After a long, difficult process, he says of his creations: “Finally, sometimes its worth having your signature.”\r
