I collect Karmann Ghia bumpers. I don't know why. I just think they are pretty, I guess.

I collect used motor oil from historically significant VWs.

I'll tell ya what, getting oil from the 38 KDF in Wolfsburg was a bear.

many vw related items in my collection, but as a side bent, I collect magazines, especially pornography, from May 1959 (the month my double cab was made)

Where to start?
Manuals/books, Jim Beam Beetles, VW mags from around the world, dealer promo items, and, of course, die casts of all sizes. Oh yeah, MotoMeter gauges and clocks. Dealership tin signs. A couple vintage coolers. And I have a metal pedal car bug(never been used).
I'm sure I forgot stuff but..............................

I agree with the "anything" VW statement.

Ive got way too much stuff actually...boxes of it stashed deep in the garage, toys, trinkets, magazines, t-shirts, etc, stuff that just takes up space. I kid myself that some day I'll retire and sell it all on ebay for some extra coin when I need it.

One real odd item I have is a VW Billboard...full size freeway stuff, un-mounted showing the full VW line from about 1970.

I wish I had a wall big enough to mount it to.

Read the rest of the sentance... only from May 1959. Stuff was pretty tame back then.
