I can remember sitting with my sister in the well behind the rear seat of the family's '63 Type 1 rolltop because my dad had packed the car for a week at the beach. I must have been all of four at the time. Don't know how the two of us were kept happy for two hours like that. Do that today and you'll be arrested for child abuse.
There used to be kits to change the bug's nose to a Rolls grille. My father preferred the other variant which was something like a 30's Plymouth or a '40 Ford Coupe. Never got that done, though.
Weird, the Bug I remember goofing with didn't do that.
Only the New Beetle.
*scratches head*
Always wanted ot get my hands on a Kubelwagon, or it's descendant The Thing.
(Or a newer Corrado.. Maybe a Kharman Ghia..)
Did get to play around with VW diesels a bit.
My first gas powered VW was an 89 Golf.
(Loved it, it drovefor 30,000 miles with a hole the size of a quarter in the differential.. No other car I've run into would do that.)
