A group of Laudra Vista Junior High students from Fullerton, California, try to set a new record in car packing; they managed to put thirty-one 13 and 14 year-olds into this Volkswagen Beetle on May 12, 1964.

Pictures show 31 teenagers (10 boys and 21 girls, average weight 100 lbs., height 5 feet) who have stuffed themselves into the tiny car, claiming a new record. The kids practiced with one of their families’ cars but stopped at 25 (they say was the old record) and borrowed one from a dealer for the record attempt.

I had a bug with a bolt on select a drop. It used a HD sway bar contraption and pulled it down in the middle.

You young kids can’t remember just how many VWs were out the in the 60’s and 70’s. This is just a random street in 1972.

In this part of New Jersey we just say we are going to the beach because we already live at the Shore


So, if I follow the signs that “shore points”. I’ll find you?
