I absolutely adore the old (and new) Volkswagen Beetle! As you can imagine, there were plenty on display at the Oldtimer Show, this is the land of the Beetles after all. Here is a little selection of a few I found funny, although I'm not sure about the third eye on the "German" model.
Don't forget to check Halcyon Travels for more old autos. I have featured an original Porsche Fire Truck from the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart today - you can see it here.
i like the flames - like it could zoom so fast! :)
ReplyDeleteMy parents had two of them at different points. I only remember the second one.
ReplyDeleteLove the three-eyed monster.
ReplyDeleteMy first car was a 1964 Beetle, red. It was used, but new to me. The boys in high school used to carry it off and hide it. We once packed 9 kids inside and drove 25 miles one way to the fair. Those were fun days. Love these and think I like that 3rd eye. :)
ReplyDeleteI love hearing people's old Bug stories. :)
DeleteJ'adore celle avec les skis !

ReplyDeleteThe VW Beetle has always been very distinct from any other car.
ReplyDeleteI had a black VW Bug years ago and loved driving it!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad someone is showing them some 'lovebug'
ReplyDeletethey are such cute cars! do they play "slug bug" there?!
ReplyDeleteNot really. Although my husband and I used to play our own version of it when I drove the "Halcion" bug. :)
DeletePretty cool paint job :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, one of the few German cars I never got to like... The one on the right is quite nice, though!
ReplyDeleteI'm a Beetle fan too.
ReplyDeleteOld cars always nice to see. Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteThey were fun to drive but the heaters were terrible in the winter!
