Too Bad it is not a 1973 or at least the correct body style.
Please if any Westerners are sold please update us with the new owners and locations.
Easter Weekend will be a good time to cruise around in your Wild Westerner so post some pics of people taking pictures of your bus.

Houston we have a problem!
Many Wild Westerners have been sold in the pasts couple of years and not reported to us, therefore our Registry is pathetic.
I have a suggestion to have stickers produced identifying these vehicles as being on a registry therefore the new owners will hopefully update us with their information.
Any thoughts ? _________________ VW Its a family thing !!!

Sure, Bill, the stickers are a fun idea. Something like your card. Gotta promote the registry! _________________ John

Received an email this morning from a lady that states her family owned a Wild Westerner for 17 years. They rolled it over and then sold it to a man who was going to modify it. It was sold abt 1990 to someone in Ulysses Kansas . If we have anyone in that area please look around for a modified bus.
Thanks _________________ VW Its a family thing !!!

I' m thinking the colors should be reversed???
Also the W's look a bit funky but we used the the bottom half of the VW emblem not sure abt that as well.
Actually I was waiting on some feed-back before making any changes.
Sound off with suggestions I'm open to change just ask my 7 th wife.

I like the vibrant colors. We would have to see two side by side to judge the reversal of colors. I also like the WW idea, but it should get trimmed up a bit. I also do some graphic design on the side, and would be happy to offer some ideas, too. Do you have this in some vector graphics software? _________________ John

The only thing I don't care for is the WWs. That does look funky. Maybe a different font not overlapped.
Asking all of you to keep your fingers crossed that tomorrow my WW will finally be running. _________________ 1973 Wild Westerner "Mr. Peabody"

My graphics person is out of town until this weekend. I think I have come up with a design that will be attractive. I will throw it out for review sometime this coming weekend.
Thanks for your input . _________________ VW Its a family thing !!!
