All right, what is with that car?
To me, the windshield looks oval-sized, and the top mounted front directionals are sort of in the wrong place, or at least twisted inward. Or is the picture just distorted?

Likely been posted numerous times, but MeTV has Charlie's Angels on its schedule, and there typically are VWs in most episodes. Today I saw a sedan and a convertible.

I was watching the original Hawaii 5-0 in the laundermat and saw a chopped bug in one of the opening scenes. It was used as a getaway car of sorts. Would be cool to see more of that car.

Suburbicon a movie which premiered about a week ago W/ Matt Damon and Juliet Moore features a oval window bug towards the end of the story, I could clearly hear the non synchro 1st gear whine. Very unusual dark comedy, period correct for 1950s with just a touch of kink.  |
Right after this shot the bug is in a head on with a truck. Dude goes through the windshield and burns in the wreckage. It sure looked like a nice car to have been smash up like that.

I only watched about five minutes and didn't see the bus. I didn't invest a lot of time in something I couldn't understand just to get a better picture of the bus.
