Hi,

I often wondered who has the most accessories on bug in the world that could beat my bug?

The only contender I know of is Jerry Jess and I think he sold his car that had all the accessories on it.

That split window Don Haight (VWCRU) used to bring to shows has to be a contender, but I can't find a photo of it in the Gallery.

I think I remember seeing Jerry Jess's bug He did have a lot of accessories and I would love to see a photo of his bug. I also remember Don Haight's split bug with accessories. I bought som cool stuff from him. I have not seen or hear from him lately. I also would like to see others as well. I am not trying to brag by being the best, who cares! I just wanted to see if someone else is a nut like me loading all stuffs on a bug. I often go to VW shows and do not see a match compare to my bug. I did see one green custom bug that had cool accessories and the owner is collecting more accessory on his bug.

I started adding accessories on my 1965 camper bus. I will try to come up with some photos later.

There might be a car out there with more, but I'm sure that none are as elegantly and tastefully done as yours. Very Happy

Thanks for the picture. And glad you liked the Akkord radio. i saw it in your bug and looked cool. I do have Akkord radio in blue and wanted to put in my bug but I hav another rare radio so i am not sure which one i want to replace the original Saphire radio. Sometime i have too much accesosries and i get stuck finding place to put. Very Happy

He doesn't have as many accessories, but he does have some rather cool and interesting ones none the less. Here are a few recent pictures of his split. I think he has taken some accessories off over the years:

Thanks for the photos of Don's bug. I remember seeing his bug and he does have some cool accessories that I do not have. I am always fascinated in VW accessories on other VWs. Would be cool if we got all VWs lined up with accessories at one show.
