The Junk Gypsy Hippie Bug

Classic Car Lettering
Written By Sean Starr

Sean Starr was commissioned by HGTV stars Amie & Jolie Sikes from Junk Gypsy in the Spring of 2021 to come up with a one-of-a-kind custom paint scheme for this classic 1972 Volkswagen Beetle for their showroom in Round Top, Texas.

The car was built by Justin Praesel of Praesel’s Addiction in Rockdale, Texas.

Sean’s work on this project was inspired by the delivery trucks of India and Nepal as well as John Lennon’s Rolls Royce.
