I have searched for a good while for large VW Beetle/Bug jigsaw puzzles. As much as I hate to say, the selection is very slim/poor, IMO.

I have seen many puzzles related to the VW Bus, as well as other vehicle makes/models, but none that have caught my eye for the Bug

Does anyone know of online stores that have a good assortment? I have seen a couple good ones, but you have to buy them already assembled. What fun is that?

I did find this puzzle revolved around the Bus, looks very cool, but I am not a fan of the buses, would prefer vintage bugs

If anyone knows of a site they would care to share, I'd greatly appreciate it.

(looking for 1000+ piece puzzles, and on the larger size)

here's a couple I have found as well:

If you can't find ready made puzzles, maybe try a site like this one https://www.portraitpuzzles.com/home.php

I thought of having one created from a picture. When I looked in to it, it looked as if they use the same two puzzle piece shape throughout the whole thing. So it seemed. Although the site you listed looks to be random.

I see they can't do copywrited photos, so I would have to find some way to get a picture that has no known author

I was waiting for someone to post a car disassembled in needs of it being put back together. I have really thought about it, but I am not ready at this time to tackle a bitch of a job Smile

Feel free to search my gallery on the site and PM me if you want to get something made from a photo and I'll waive the copyright in writing.
I also might have the photo in a larger size that I can email you, if that is better for sending to them.
I guess the only thin might be if the actual owner of the car has an issue with it but if they took their car to a public show and I took a photo, there should be no copyright issue from them.

Gallery search page
Search on my user name and pick a category to limit things down.
I'd pick "Display results as Grid" too - you can see more at once that way.

Eric Arnold makes a couple of puzzles. He only has one VW puzzle listed on his website right now, but he might have others in the works.
