While killing time waiting for my car to be serviced I shot this VW Beetle since its brilliant paint job reminded me of Poe's short story about a gold bug.

La vw Type 1, meglio conosciuta in Italia come 'maggiolino', anche detta 'coccinelle' in Francia, 'käfer' in Germania, 'beetle' negli Stati Uniti, 'fusca' in Brasile, 'vocho' in Messico, è un'automobile compatta prodotta dal 1938 al 2003.

La Kafer diviene il simbolo della rinascita industriale tedesca nel secondo dopoguerra.

E' considerata, insieme alla fiat 500, la citroen 2cv, la Mini, una tra le auto più diffusa sulla terra.

Ha detenuto a lungo il primato di auto più venduta nel globo, con 21.529.464 esemplari, attualmente detiene il record di auto più longeva del mondo: considerando i vari stabilimenti in cui è stata assemblata, risulta prodotta per 65 anni.

... where is it now?

Eugene, Oregon

Saw the paint job on this VW Bug early this morning and made a point to stop by it on my way back. Notice the very old style front turn signals on what looks to me like a late '60s body.

A pair of home-built rods, parked on a quayside in the historic city of York, U.K. These cars have been sitting here for quite a few years, and the pair have become something of a tourist attraction. Reportedly the owner/builder lives on one of the barges docked here.

The Volkswagen is a 1974 Type 1 ‘Beetle’ Kustom “Breadvan” conversion, registration: “RKX 215M”. The maroon car - registration “MKV 388G” belongs to a chassis which started out in life as a 1968 Triumph Vitesse. The car has since received a full custom re-body (similar to one from a circa 1930s/’40s Austin), and has turned into a ‘70s-style Hot Rod, fitted W/ a small block motor (possibly a Harley engine?).

Facelifted resprayed exquisite Volkswagen Beetle with aftermarket wheels.

The registration expired 01/02/2023.

The rocks probably held a tarp in place for a while.

I've always had a 'thing' for old VW Bugs (aka Volkswagen Beetle) and as I was walking around this car show, this one pulled in and found its spot that you see here. I was immediately drawn to follow and take a closer look at this cool Bug. Upon an up-close inspection, I found out that this amazing looking paint job is just that...the paint is not flaking off but that look is THE actual paint job! The flaking areas are a part of the paint and are intentionally supposed to look like what you are seeing...it is amazing up close. Beyond the paint, the rest of the details on this VW are just cool...the old surfboard, vintage metal cooler, Elvis Presley Blvd sign, rusty gas can, rims & tires, chrome, and an awesome window sticker that reads "I want my records back"! The details will always make a classic car...

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
