My first car was a '68 Beetle. It was a gas in the snow -- really built well for donuts. Also had a VW bus. Darn thing cost me about 15 albums. When I moved back from school one year, I had a rack of records too close to the back vent. Hard to play a wavy record.

I learned to drive a stick in my neighbor's '65 VW station wagon. Didn't realize how easy the VW was until I got hold of my other neighbor's '48 Dodge pickup and had to learn to double-clutch.

No, I figure he means this model, called a 'Type 3' or a Squareback.

That's similar to one I had. Did not know they went as far back as '65. Mine was sky blue.

In 2010 we had a nice VW Classic Cars meeting. The picture shows the extremely rare 1949 Hebmüller convertible. As a collector's item the value is now 130000 Euros, if in top condition. This one from Belgium is in a rather columbo-ish condition, you know what I mean...

I remember the blue "Super Beetle" my brother and his first wife had. Not sure what year it was.
