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. _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far

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.

So what do the British call going to the beach? In New Jersey we say “going down the shore”. In Maryland that say “going down the ocean”. Both a regional thing. |
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? _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far
