I was just thinking of all the Air cooled VWs that I had. I started with my first car a 1958 VW Bug that I bought in 1968. $75. And a real piece of shit but my first car.
I went on to having more new VW Bugs and Campers in my life and got started with VW –Porsche 914 in 1978. Always loved the VW air cooled product and also enjoyed a new Rabbit Pick Up in 1981 Bob B |

Learned to drive in Dad's '76 VW bus. I think the driving test instructor was so impressed I could parallel park the thing, that he passed me on my first try. In reality, it's one of the easiest cars to park - high seating position (directly above front wheels), good visibility & no hood.
My first car '72 412 wagon (w/ automatic and custom bungee cords to keep front fenders attached, and drain holes in the floor to let water back out) '74 412 Fastback 4 spd. (Last gasp of the air cooled VW's) '72 Bus camper without pop up top. '70 914 low mileage but with terminal hell hole rot '72 914 still have this one '64 Karmann Ghia convertible - 40th bday present to myself in 2004 (Get it?). Still have this one, too. |
