1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle
View Description
Sometimes when I see a car, I think about that day the first owner was handed the keys and drove it home. I like to think that in 1972 an excited young person was handed the keys to this convertible VW Super Beetle. At this point they dropped the top and turned on the radio and 'Saturday in the park' from Chicago poured out of the speaker as they ran through the gears excited about the future while the sun shone on their face and the warm wind flowed through their hair. It is at this point that in my mind there is a slight smell of patchouli oil. Ok, sorry, let's talk about this sweet classic. While a car is only new once, this one is close, very close. The paint is bright red and the cloth interior and top are tan and it looks great together. The 1600 CC air cooled mill under the rear deck has that VW sound that lets you know it is ok to lower the right foot a bit...
