George Barris Merged A VW Dune Buggy And A Model T Galpin Motors 2026-07-30 | Galpin CEO Beau Boeckmann was lucky enough to become friends with George Barris, one of his automotive idles, after Beau’s dad walked up to George at an event and introduced the two.

When Beau was fortunate enough to buy his first Barris car, this Barris T-Buggy, he told George. Beau remembers how excited George was. George was an amazing person whose love for cars seemed almost infinite. As Beau tries to decide which of his cars to auction off, this vehicle — his first Barris, a wild union of a VW buggy and a Ford Model T — conjures a flood of emotions.
