Had a good collection of stickers on my 73 Bus back in the early 90s and people would randomly add more.

Was this the precursor to Fedco?

They were big in SoCal until 1999. |

In the early 1990's I bought a non-running '72 Standard Beetle for cheap a few towns over, and did a budget revival to get it going again. During a business trip to Germany, I met up with a friend in Wolfsburg who was an authority on vintage VWs, VW factory early history; and also VW toys/models. He gave me a large decal which I put onto the '72. Unfotunately you cannot see it clearly here and I probably don't have a better shot of it handy, but it's a long red line with a Beetle body shape to the right. German script "Ich gehoer dazu" (I belong). It may have been a promotional decal from VW as it was building up its long vintage history public awareness.

"Roots Rock Reggae" show ran from 1974 to 2008, hosted by Lance Linares.
KUSP went off the air five years ago.
End of an era!
I run this sticker in memorium.
| Quote: |
Linares and his radio colleagues Doug Wendt in the Bay Area and Roger Steffens in Los Angeles found the field wide open. They filled their air time with music they traded among themselves: singles, LPs and cassettes of rare studio and live recordings. Reggae, dub, rocksteady, and ska were explored in depth. Because they were serious collectors there was no shortage of material. And listeners loved it.
Linares noted that the rise of KUSP was concurrent with the breakthrough of reggae in the U.S. He was receiving a steady stream of promotional albums and eventually became acquainted with concert promoters bringing reggae music to California.
In addition to Marley and the Wailers, KUSP did live broadcasts of Santa Cruz performances by Peter Tosh, Steel Pulse, Black Uhuru, Gregory Issacs, The Mighty Diamonds and The Itals—about a dozen concerts total between 1978 and 1984, during what Linares called “the golden age of reggae.” |

I've tried to keep the stickers on my 1970 1300 bug as period as possible.
Had a dealer sticker made up for the supplying dealer in 1970.

Ha-ha, you should do a T-shirt
Leave off the Premium Gasoline part I think and it looks like a pro-USA shirt too so funny for VW people but also USA-themed

Saw this in a James Brown documentary. Thought it was cool.
