Default Re: Most Numerous Surviving Antique Car

A brand new VW Bug was $1,250. I remember the ads. The photograph for the ad was stretched a little to make the car looks more racy. Maybe late 1950's.

My dad never bought the Bug but I had several including the one with small window in back.

My 1961 bus was under powered. My cruise control was a brick on the accelerator pedal.

My folks bought the camper and toured Europe with it. They shipped it to the US when they returned and later sold it.
