Is that the place in Belgium where the US soldiers all abandoned their cars after they found out it was too costly to ship them back home? Interesting story about that whole ordeal..

Went to look at an archtop guitar (Eastman 804) and across the street was this house with a bunch of vw's in the back yard! 4-5 bugs, a bus & a rabbit. A few other cars. Look like so many other "I'll get to 'em" cars. (Like the one in my garage!)
