Great day at the show yesterday. Thank you Stan for your hard work and persistent to make this a great show time after time. I was able to buy and sell some great parts. Transporterfest always has a great swap! I picked up a set of split bus rear over riders for a great price. Vendors wanted to sell! I wanted to buy! Perfect.
There was a small rain delay and we had to hangout in the bus.

A BIG thanks to Stan (& everybody who helped) for putting on such an amazing weekend event! It was a ton of fun and the rain didn't dampen the enjoyment at all.

Just in, from the accounting firm of Cuddy, Hernandez and Wohlfarth, we have the model breakdown of registered vehicles at the show.
Bug/Sedan/Sunroof: 28
Convert/Ghia/T3/Thing: 13
Water-cooled and EuroVan: 19
Special interest: 3
Early Bus: 19
Bay window Bus: 32
Vanagon: 40
Unknown: 11
Unknown are vehicles that were there, but the owner's did not fill out a yellow registration form. Please do this next year if you are one of these 11.
Breakdown from pre-show gathering in Salem, MA.
Type 3: 2
Early Bus (54-67): 7
Bay window Bus (68-79): 9
Vanagon (80-91): 19
EuroVan: 2
Other: 5
"Other" includes a 1966 Apache and 1970 Nimrod, vintage camping trailers, both from New Jersey.
We had 44 total camping units at Salem. The 'Fort' area was pretty full with 15. We could have squeezed a few more into the 'Igloo' though. We had people from OH, PA, MD, NJ, NY, CT, NH, RI, ME and MA at Salem. _________________ Stan's Classic Service, specializing in air-cooled VWs:

Probably too early to tell, but I am working on bringing a bunch of international enthusiasts to Transporterfest 2018. Any word on the dates it might occur? Thanks. |

This event is Columbus day weekend every year.
in 2018 the show will be on October 7th. There is also a multi-night camp out before the show in Salem.
