Those factory walls hold all the answers to all our questions, wonders and curiosities about these great little cars. Makes you wish we could go back in time and stroll through.

I love this picture. People forget that it was the sports car crowd who first embraced the VW in the U.S.

I wasn't going to post any more family photos, but I was inspired by joe h and I thought these two belonged together.

Does this one count? It's only 19 years old.

I think, technically, vintage would mean over 25 years. 
But cool junkyard photo.
Here are a couple more from Pogel:

I have had this poster in my room since age 15 (now 32). It has made me love the vw more than anything. It's hard to notice, but there is a worker in the back room sitting on a bucket just taking a break. I have always wondered what he was thinking about.
Sadly my poster is wrinkled with age and I can never find a new print.

Think how noisy it must have been with all those bodies riding on steel rails!
