I had occasion to visit local VW dealership today, first time in years. As you know they recently changed their corporate logo to a different design and in this case they carried the old one out back to discard. I inquired about it and was told they are awaiting word from VWOA on how to dispose of. Damn thing is big and it looks heavy, they’ve got it in a secure area so it won’t fit in someone’s lunchbox. I also went inside and lo and behold they’ve got a 77 convertible on the floor to look at. Although this dealer has changed names and owners several times it’s been here since the 70s. I also noticed they sell a bunch of VW items although some of it’s priced crazy high. Back around 1989 I came to this same place and met the service manager who had been with VW since the 60s starting as a mechanic. He was my friend for many years and died several years ago. I think of him often.

Dude, you gotta get that sign.

Rent a flatbed, get yourself some bolt cutters and bribe a couple of local delinquents for muscle if you have to, but get that sign!

I just noticed the dealer sticker is the same style as the one on my former '67. Still the same style after 10 years, pretty cool!
