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.
