At the Circuit in Makati City, a stack of machismo past, recontextualized, and reborn, did not fail to elicit enthusiastic optical response. The reconstructed cars—one of the oldest, a gleaming ecru Volkswagen Karmann Ghia 1600—have unquestionably been lavished with fastidious artisanship and focused creativity. Its fiberglass body has not undergone the slightest conversion and instead retained its original Dune Buggy young appeal. Brash and energetic, the sleek silhouette knifes itself across roads like a seamless work of art. With true grace and grit these reborn macho machines are the most convincing proof that vintage cars will always have their irresistible desirability.
