St. Louis 1965. There sure aren't many VWs to be seen. My memories of that era are evidently flawed -- I recall every third car being a Beetle.

depended on where you lived Wink There were not many in the where the US auto plants were
My dad was a school teacher in Michigan and ended up with a 64 when my brother got out of the army in 69. You would not believe all the things done to that poor VW Shocked

Skim found an amazingly appropriate photo of the Twin Towers, being that his posting date was exactly 20 years after that horrible attack and the huge tragic loss of life.

Likely the photo was taken in October 1991 at Liberty State Park in New Jersey. Decades-long VW enthusiast Bob Cropsey from NJ organized a VW meet "Garden State Classic" held at the large field in this park. It's located on the west side of the Hudson River, directly across from lower Manhattan. I attended that meet in my Ghia Cabriolet, and remember it was a good turnout for the one-time event.

Cool info. After seeing this photo on September 11, I pulled up the present twin towers memorial area on Google Earth and zoomed out to see if I could spot the possible location of this photo, but wasn’t able to really tell. Easily one of my favorite photos in this thread. Wish more would surface.
