You young kids can’t remember just how many VWs were out the in the 60’s and 70’s. This is just a random street in 1972.

I had a bug with a bolt on select a drop. It used a HD sway bar contraption and pulled it down in the middle. _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far

A group of Laudra Vista Junior High students from Fullerton, California, try to set a new record in car packing; they managed to put thirty-one 13 and 14 year-olds into this Volkswagen Beetle on May 12, 1964.
Pictures show 31 teenagers (10 boys and 21 girls, average weight 100 lbs., height 5 feet) who have stuffed themselves into the tiny car, claiming a new record. The kids practiced with one of their families’ cars but stopped at 25 (they say was the old record) and borrowed one from a dealer for the record attempt.

Smells like photoshop, where the waves interact with the track ballast looks funny from here. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

The perspective of the train and waves is all wrong.
The cars get much smaller in the distance, but the waves stay the same size. _________________ Current Fleet:

the above is a postcard of the rail line Hindenburgdamm - Sylt and has been freely dramatised by merging two photos. the line is still in use and is low lying but you're not likely to need life jackets! get your tickets here https://www.syltshuttle.de/syltshuttle-de/fahrplan
