VolksWoman just got Vern, her 1959 Single Cab, a new suit of clothes. " Vernon just knows that he is about as close to human as one can get and still be a Volkswagen. After beginning his restoration, he is almost completed. I took one of the last big steps left and had him upholstered in last October. Yes, he is now stitched. He wasn’t really that bad in there, not really. He still had the old brown vinyl seats. He still sported the mahogany door panels and kick panels my dad had installed almost 20 years before. The original door handles, steering wheel, gearshift and knob, and interior light were still in place. Not bad when you consider what Vern had been through on the OUTSIDE. Major reconstructive surgery would be a mild way of putting it. So, why not spruce up the interior to match?" Read - A Stitch in Time Saves a '59...
This months Feature
is yet another Karmann Ghia, this however is one of the last ever built. "My 1974 Karmann Ghia, in original colors and trim and I have owned it since 2001. It has spent the last 9 years with me on the road at first but always protected in the garage. It has a great history. It all started in Germany, its birthplace, in late ’74. It was within the last 100 or so built. As for design, 1974 offered IRS suspension, 1600 dual port engine, front disc brakes, this has rear window defrost, and the engine was tuned well for emissions. They had perfected its design by this time so it’s a usable car for today’s interstates and roads. So many older cars just don’t stand a chance on the road of today. They can’t handle the corners or ride well on the interstate." Read - One of the Last Ghias...
The Spotlight at SuperBeetles.com is a 1974 Super Beetle Sun Bug. "My 1974 VW Super Beetle, actually she is a special edition called a “SUNBUG”. My love for Beetles started when I was really little and my grandmother, my aunt, my grandfather, my great aunt, and my uncle all had some form of VW Beetle for their daily driver. I have wanted a Bug from as far back as I can remember. Most of my childhood family pictures include me holding a Matchbox VW Bug in my hand to calm me down."

While attending a local VW event I noticed that the 1972 - 1975 Super Beetle Sedan has six little rear defroster vents beside the rear glass. Three on each side, while my 1975 Super Beetle has none. Hmmmm. It looks as if when the original owner changed the headliner he neglected to put them back in. From talking to various owners it seems that over time these plastic vents becomes brittle and literally disintegrate when you try and take them out and these little gems are nearly impossible to find.

To promote the new Volkswagen Routan Volkswagen has enlisted the help of actress Brooke Shields. U.S. birthrates are currently at a very high point and the tongue-in-cheek commercial claims that this is caused by the Volkswagen Routan. Brooke Shields says more and more people in U.S have children because of German engineering. This months Dub-toon from Daniel Mosher plays on the "Volkswagen Routan Boom" commercial.
