Bug With Trailer
This Beetle may or may not have been entered in the Terryville show for judging. It probably was. But what's significant is that it actually has a trailer hitched to it. You'd think a VE would be too much of a weakling to carry a trailer, even a small one. But there it is, a highway caboose on the back of this coincidentally red Bug. :-)
This Beetle, in addition to having chrome fender flares and headlight eyelids, also has large, bulky taillights and the VW logo on the trunk lid. That would identify it as a '73 or '74 Beetle.
The 1971 Beetle had a 1.6-liter engine rated at 60 horsepower. That engine, which remained the standard powerplant for the Beetle in America to the end, would have its horsepower rating downgraded to 46 the following year (1972) by Society of American Engineers (SAE) standards, and subsequent Bugs would retain that rating. 46, 60 . . . that seems good enough for a Beetle to carry a trailer like this.
