M'zaka za m'ma 1960, a Beach Boys ankayendetsa ndege.Kusefukira ndi masewera atsopano abwino popeza ma boomer osakhazikika amatsutsa malingaliro akale.Nthawi yoyamba izi zinachitika pamene ndinali wachinyamata.
Mbali imodzi yomwe yasintha kwambiri ndi galimoto.Mabwato akuluakulu akumtunda a m'ma 50s apita, ndipo nayi Volkswagen Beetle yatsopano.Iwo anali mpweya wabwino, kulimbikitsa mbadwo watsopano wa olenga kuti agwirizane ndi chikhalidwe cha hot rod.Ganizirani kupanduka popanda chifukwa koma ndi tani.
Injiniya, wojambula komanso womanga zapamadzi a Bruce Meyers ndi m'modzi mwaopanga otere.Meyers adalakwitsa ndipo adagwiritsa ntchito malingaliro ake kuti apange galimoto yanthawi imeneyo yothamangira mumsewu, Meyers Manx.
Pamodzi ndi a Manx panali zida zonyamula dune.Choyimira choyambirira cha "Old Red" chinali ndi thupi la fiberglass monocoque komanso kuyimitsidwa pagalimoto yonyamula ya Chevrolet.Kukonzekera konseko kumayendetsedwa ndi Volkswagen Lovesummer air-cooled four-cylinder powertrain.

Old Red idatsimikizira kuthekera kwapamsewu ku Baja Mexico, ndikulemba mbiri ya maola 39 ndi mphindi 56 paulendo wamakilomita 1,000 kuchokera ku Tijuana kupita ku La Paz.Palibe aliyense koma oyendetsa njinga zamoto amene ankakhulupirira kuti n’zotheka.Kuthamanga kwapang'onopang'ono kumeneku kudasinthika kukhala komwe tikudziwa lero kuti Baja 1000, mpikisano wovuta kwambiri wapamsewu ku North America.
Kuyambira 1964 mpaka 1971, ntchito za BF Meyers & Co zinali zazifupi komanso zokoma.Chifukwa cha kukwera mtengo komanso zovuta za zida zoyambira, mitundu khumi ndi iwiri yokha yofiira idagulitsidwa.Pamapeto pake, Meyers anasiya kuyimitsidwa kwa Chevrolet, kupanga thupi lomwe limagwirizana bwino ndi chimango cha VW.
Nthawi yomweyo, zinthuzo zinapezeka kwa okonda m'dziko lonselo.Mofanana ndi bwato, mapindikidwe osalala amapangitsa kulimba kofunikira kofunikira, pamene zotchingira zokhotakhota zimapereka malo opangira matayala akutali.Kaimidwe kake kamene kanayambitsa dzina lakuti Isle of Man, lomwe limachokera ku nsonga yofanana.
The Isle of Man idafika pachimake pachikhalidwe cha pop ndi buku la Steve McQueen la Thomas Crown.McQueen adatenga wojambula Faye Dunway paulendo wosangalatsa kudutsa mchenga wamchenga wa Massachusetts.Izi zidangopezeka mu kanema wa 1968 kuwonetsa momwe Thomas Korona analili wolimba.Mwachitsanzo, ndinagulitsidwa.
Mu 1970, chigamulo cha khoti chotsutsana chinasintha zonse.Woweruzayo adagamula kuti kapangidwe ka Manx sikadali kotetezedwa.Posakhalitsa msikawo unasefukira ndi zabodza zotsika mtengo.Ngakhale kuyesa kupanga zitsanzo zamagulu a akatswiri monga malo ogona komanso oteteza anthu, BF Meyers & Co. inasiya ntchito zake.
Ngakhale magalimoto okwana 6,000 okha ndi omwe adapangidwa, adalimbikitsa m'badwo wonse wa othamanga othamanga.Mtundu wachitsulo wa tubular umagwiritsa ntchito injini yayikulu ya Corvette m'malo mwa chopangira magetsi cha VW.Akhala gulu la ma ATV mumpikisano wamakono wa Baja.
