Those are both very slick little V-Dubs, I love the beetle with the roof rack.
Obviously you have that thing protected.

Sure is nice to see all the VDubs showing up lately.

My mother had a "Squareback" back in the late 60's, my wife and I drove it from Seattle to the mid-west (where we now live) to visit her folks (wifes)...that puppy was the MOST comfortable vehicle I have ever driven on a loooong distant run. Just realized, that was almost 50 years ago (LOL).

Thanx for the pics!

The beetle looks great. I've had a 69 and a 71. I'm always on the lookout for a 1966 or older.

Thanks mate. Yeah she's a real sweetie, stock 1200 that purrs along nicely all day (when she gets out) got caught out in the rain that morning which i wasn't impressed about but made for a good beading shot. :dblthumb2:

Hey Bill. I had a feeling you were a VW fan. :dblthumb2:
Yep - the type 3 squareback is a fav of mine too, i have two awaiting resto - a 66 & 64. Very nice cars to drive. The type 4 isn't as nice to look at (bit ugly) but also a great ride.
Cheers Bill. :xyxthumbs:

Thankyou. :xyxthumbs:
I would like an oval at some stage . . . or a Kombi . . . or a thing . . . or a . . . .:dblthumb2: 66 is a great year Beetle though.

[Tato]

Wow!, I see those cars here in Brazil but almost always very trashed from use and abuse.

Seeing them in so good shape gives me a very good feeling about their history! Congratulations on your ownership,

and you beading shot shows it's being very well cared.

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Kind Regards.

[Aaryn NZ]

Thanks Tato. :xyxthumbs:
VW has quite the heritage in Brazil yeah? A few models were made there that unfortunately never made it to any other part of the world.
The Beetle has every receipt of any work done to it since new, even the original sales document from 63.
Cheers for checking them out. :dblthumb2:

One of the neatest things about both Types 1 & 2...four bolts and the engine is in your lap! Great to work on that way...sure beats trying to get your head and shoulders inside the engine compartment.

As a side note...Growing up in the Los Angles area in the 50's, when VW's first started showing up there was a lot of controversy (this is shortly after WW2) about owning ANYTHING German or Japanese. Needless to say, that didn't last too long.

There has been a couple of books written about how VW came back 'from the brink' after the war. Very interesting is the understatement.

:iagree:
Yes Bill, not how I originally thought it happened. I thought it was a German only deal but the Brits had quite a hand in how it all came to be huh.

[Aaryn NZ]

C'mon VW owners . . . must be someone out there with a VW to share? :xyxthumbs:
