 |
|
This is the earliest known model VW Beetle known to exist. It's exact year is unknown, but it's roughly as old as the formation of the Earth.
Actually it's a neat work of art some photographer on Reddit took a picture of. Does anyone know anything about it's location?
I was thinking this could be a VW art thread. I have seen a few more things of this nature that I'm willing to post. I haven't seen another thread like that. I'll change the title, once I've pranked enough fellas. 
Here's another:
