Found this beauty near the apartment. The young man who owns it came over when he saw me taking photos of it and gave me this information--1971 Volkswagen Squareback Type III. He didn't mind if I used the photo of the whole car as long as I blurred the license plate. It took some time, rubbing that little iPhoto retouch brush over and over and over that Oregon plate, but I did it because you really need to see the whole car. Plus that building in the background, where you can see the red letters and the green symbol--that Elephant's Delicatessen. Sunday's sleek photo comes from one of their parking lots, out of sight to the right.
You're really finding all the cool cars lately.
ReplyDeleteOh my! You are really on a roll with these old cars, and "Louis" is lovin' it!
ReplyDelete"Louis" had a 1972 VW Squareback in a color they called 'Kasan' red, if his memory is correct. It was a red-orange. Great car! Very reliable, good mileage. Underpowered as all VWs of that time were, but it was unbreakable, unlike the American cars of that era.
Very nice. I love the looks of this. Wendy's right, you find awesome cars!
ReplyDeleteOh! And I forgot to write "thank you" for the comment about our anniversary. That was very nice of you Lynette. Hope you have a great Sunday!
