Volkswagen Beetle
Since I was a child, I have always had a fascination with the VW Beetle.
I used to have my mother bring me to see all the Herbie the Love Bug movies that
Disney put out. And I used to love going to My Uncles Bob's house because he owned two that
I could remember. One Green one, and later, a Tan one. I used to love sitting in that
Back seat and I can still picture it today in my mind, looking out that little back window
listening to that familiar VW Engine sound.
Well, I went to a meeting of my club and it was one of the Swap & Shop meetings.
I was looking at what everybody had to offer and this little kit was sitting in a box.
!!! I HAD TO HAVE IT !!!
I put this together using an outside color of Yellow. The reason because I wanted to
make it look like my Uncles last bug, but at the time, I had the thought that it was yellow.
After finding out it was Tan, I said "Bah! It looks good Yellow."
The kit was a nice little project and everything went together with ease.
This piece had no engine detail. And the interior was not fabulous. But if you remember
the Old Bugs, they were not Cadillacs on the inside anyway.
So this little guy will be the VW I always wanted to buy, but never could.
