The
Air-Cooled VW Funfest 2025 roared to life this past weekend with over 400
attendees, delivering a lively blend of nostalgia, hands-on activities,
and family-friendly entertainment for Volkswagen enthusiasts and local visitors
alike. Hosted on the picturesque Funfest Grounds in Effingham, Illinois,
this annual celebration of vintage Volkswagens proved once again why it's
a beloved tradition among Air-Cooled VW fans.
While
Oettinger is renowned for extracting immense power from VW's air-cooled
engines, they also ventured into extreme aesthetic modifications, and the
"extra-wide" 1973 Oettinger VW Super Beetle stands as a stunning
testament to this audacious vision.
