Behind the VW Bug convertible, you can see the green wall of Elephant's, with a banner that advertises their Garden Party Room.
I believe it would be great fun to drive this car. LeRoy and I had a VW Bug for a couple of years before he died; he used to drive it to work when we lived in Houston, Texas. I can remember how much Lamont and Leland enjoyed riding in it with him.
Do you have any VW stories to share? Or any sleek cars you used to know/have/love that you could tell us about? Eventually I know I'll find a 1955 four-door Chevrolet, a 1966 Chevrolet Impala and a Chevy II, maybe a 1962--Mama and I have FMD about that date, failing memory disease! Goes with age.
I had a friend who worked in R&D when I did and he would order a new VW bug and then wait up to 16 weeks to get it delivered.

Right before I read your sentence saying it would be great fun to drive this car, I thought, "Oh, that would be fun."

ReplyDeleteSome lovely car shots. We have a VW bug festival in Menton, which I've not featured as yet. Only the ancient cars. I know how hard it is to get a good car shot. Love this one. And your earlier ones - had such fun looking back over recent posts.
ReplyDeleteYou are like me, I never know what car I'm photographing. So snap!
My neighbor has the newest model of this VW bug and I LOVE it......my first car was a 69 white bug that got stolen in 74 when I was in Detroit.
ReplyDeleteMy husband had a black VW bug (not a convertible) when we were married. I kidded him that i married him for his money (ha) and his sports car.
ReplyDelete"Louis" used to have a VW Beetle he'd float in flooded streets during Texas Panhandle downpours. Those old Beetles really were built well enough that they would float!
ReplyDeleteOne of my fondest memories is owning a red VW, which we called the "Foo Foo." Wish I had this one now.
ReplyDeletesuperbe cette série sur les voitures, j'adore les deux photos avec des coccinelles. mes parents en avaient une, c'était génial. Je préfère les anciennes a la nouvelle génération.
ReplyDeletethis superb series on cars, I love the two photos with ladybugs. my parents had, it was great. I prefer the old to the new generation.
i've always wanted a VW bug, especially a convertible like your photo! my only 'sleek' car was my first car - a 1964 Ford Thunderbird... i would have liked the t-bird better if it was convertible.. then again, i would've liked it more if it got better than 8 miles per gallon too - but it sure was pretty!
