08231 96050 <<and there still there!!

April 1960 (tourist delivery) brought back to J. Morrison better cars inc. Valley Stream NY orig owner moved to Colorado 1972' or so, orig owner passed on in early 2000, April 2000 second owner bought it, enjoyed it untill he sold to me this past April 2011 with all the docs, reciepts ect... and theres tons of it!!
Auto Zone sits on the property now where the dealer was, at least its car related on the same spot,,, Cool

funny thing car only changed hands 3 times but within 5 days of its anniversary in the month of April each time, how cool is that!

my son and I are planning to attend the next Bad Camberg show and going to ship the car over to Germany to drive, tour the country and go back to the dealer where it came from, spend a few weeks in Europe with the car and then ship it back home, its a long way off, and its a daunting feat, but would make a very cool trip he will remember for a lifetime Very Happy

I'd be interested to know what happened to University VW in Fort Worth, Texas. It's not there anymore, and trying to google the history of a car dealership just gives too many wrong links.

My '63 was purchased new at Capital Volkswagen in Boise, ID- spent it's whole life 20 miles west garaged on a Nampa farm, and since 1998, as 2nd owner of this car- it's lived it's life exactly halfway between those two towns.

My 1985 Club Joker Westy was built on 26 March, 1985, in Hannover, Germany. It was delivered to a VW dealer in Wunsdorf, which, at the time, was a Soviet Army Base.
In 1992, it was registered on base in Kaiserslautern, then registered on base in Grafenvoehr in 2000, and abandoned in an impound lot in Illesheim in 2005. Bought by me through MWR Stripping Yard in Ansbach, Germany in 2010.

My '64 Sunroof was bought new from Leroy Cannon Motors in Greenville SC. The original owners lived in Charleston and bought it while they were in the process of moving to Greenville. They kept it until the 90's when they sold it to a VW mechanic, who sold it to the guy we bought it from. The dealership was torn down and a K-Mart/shopping center was built. The '64 now lives in Anderson/Belton SC but makes it's way back "home" every now and then.

62 Beryl Green beetle built Oct. 22 1961.

Shipped to the Port of San Francisco then delivered down the pennisula to
Dave Rasmussen VW in Burlingame.
Sold on Dec 21 1961.

I bought it after seeing it parked at a gas station in Redwood City back in '93,
less than 10 miles from where it was first sold.
It still had the black plates on it and the OG dealer frame on the deck lid.

There is a car dealer at the old Dave Rasmussen location, but unfortunately not a VW dealer. I checked it out on google earth, it's been updated a little but it's got the same layout and buildings. I'd like to take it there some day for a photo op.

My '74 beetle was delivered to Veale Volkswagen in Santa Rosa, Ca. It was later traded in on another car at Torvick Datsun. My mom's neighbor growing up bought the car from Torvick in 1975ish and drove it for about a year but couldnt keep up on the payments, so my mom took the car over and drove it till about 1991. I now have it, but it hasnt been on the road since 2003.
