We took Frank and Erik to a car show on Sunday.

@tikibunnyimports most of them are imports here but for a weird year or two, Nissan sold the first gen here at dealerships.
@vwdasher I had no idea they offered them down there, they're boring but rock solid!

This 1956 VW Beetle is a time machine. Always garaged. The current owners have had it around 20 years, bought from little old lady so low mileage. The interior is all intact and original, even the seats aren't cracked. It's been washed twice in 20 years. Just amazing!
@vwdasher When I was a kid, there was a house in the neighborhood that had an old, light-blue VW Beetle sat out front. It was always parked there. Fairly sure it din't run. It was a landmark in the area. Grass, small trees, grew around it. It was there when I graduated high school, when my family moved away.
I was back in that neighborhood a year ago to visit, to see the area. The Beetle was long since gone.

@vwdasher There had always been an old, yellow sports car parked next to it, in the same non-running condition. Just left there to rust away, to be claimed by nature. Just like the Beetle, that car is also gone now.

People were actually interested in Frank!
I stuck his show plates on and at the end of it, completely forgot they were on and drove home with them on
️ @vwdasher That first one reminds me of a VW Thing.

@rand__althor I had a house near me with a 70s Chryler sedan in the yard that steadily rusted away until it finally vanished, probably collapsed eventually. Was there was years.

️ A few VWs arrived. Seeing as there was no Austrian section, it seemed like the right area to park Erik in. He's a cousin to VWs.

@vwdasher That Golf has the correct rear lights that they continued on the cabriolet but replaced on the hatch

Even a 914 came! They used to be ignored by Porsche owners but they've gained some respect in recent years here.
