Ep 288 Cal Dub Jack DiGiacomo 80s Bakersfield Showcar Back again

From Lets Talk Dubs Classic The Classic VW podcast Bill Tsagrinos

The 1980s were a super cool time and show cars. Most of the guys in the scene were in their early 20s and not only did they have a big hand in building their own cars. A lot of guys drove them to the shows and back with full wheels off mirror displays. Cal-dub was no different. Built by Jack Digiacomo painted by Steve Knecht coming out of Bakersfield. These guys were ready to shake up the SoCal Vw scene. And that, they did with lots of battles out there in the show circuit. This story is about cal-dub the car built by Jack Jack Digiacomo Sen, sold during life changes and re-purchased by his son some 20 years later. The next time the car debuts at the Grand National Roadster Show where I originally did this interview with father and son and Steve Knecht which that original podcast is lost in Mexico.

Fastforward to 2024 One crazy weekend, we were all reunited again where we could record that podcast over also displaying three cars all painted by Steve connect and two he built. We discussed the Bakersfield days and what it was like during competitions. A great story about how these cars sometimes mean more than just steal, glass, and rubber.

Enjoy.
