That makes perfect sense. _________________ “If you care for a thing long enough, it takes on a life of its own, doesn't it? Mending old things, preserving them, looking after them – on some level there's no rational grounds for it.”

I would love to read more about this. Is there any kind of technical article about Bob and his bus? _________________ Prosit!

^ ^ finster, would you say that the Cabrio in left foreground is a DKW? Those had styling ribs/trim running down along the back. Type 2 in center is beyond the barndoor era with its roof cab overhang, so we're looking at late 1955 or early 1956... |

the dark coloured one - maybe an f8 and the 'silver' cabrio in the foreground an f9? _________________ "we're here on Earth to fart around" kurt vonnegut

Pardon my ignorance, but that ship looks beached at low tide with props holding it upright. Probably just the perspective and shadow hiding the water line. Any longshoremen here that can set me straight?
That ship would be the ultimate "VW bling"! |

I think it's possibly in a deeper channel next to the 'beach'. here are a couple more photos and this caption 'On August 4, 1972, commissioners executed a lease with Riviera Motors, the largest Volkswagen importing and wholesaling firm on the West Coast, bringing the auto import business to the port. In the fall of 1972, the first ship arrived, carrying Volkswagens, Porsches and Audis from Germany.'
