A story about Dick Dean wouldn't be complete without mentioning the "Shalako". When customizing took a nose dive in the late '60's, Dick had to devise a way to make his talents pay the bills. He took advantage of the publics' love-affair with the Volkswagen, and designed a "Kit" Car which would go onto a '66 VW Platform. The Shalako and its successor the "Shala-vet" were a success, with about 1,000 being built.

When it came out,
people didn't believe
that the Shalako could go Off-road too !

That's Jeanne with the '70
Shala-vet. It could hold a
VW, Pancake 6 Corvair, or
Ford 4 Cylinder engine.
