That’s pretty cool about delivering with a fleet of old VW Bugs:

Apparently they kept a bunch of them in a field on the other side of town and salvaged parts off the non-running ones to keep the running ones running.

Also, when Volkswagen introduced the new Beetle in the 1990’s, they gave the first one in Oklahoma to Hideaway.

Here’s another bit of Hideaway history. The game Pente (similar to Gomoku) was created by a dishwasher there. The game was on the tables there, so you could play while waiting for your pizza. I think I still have the board, pieces, and the tube the game came in. Wikipedia says even President Reagan and Hugh Hefner owned it. I knew it was popular locally but didn’t know it was that popular.
