Live (almost) from Michigan....2012 Vintage VW Festival Coverage

[tim boyd]

If you like Dune Buggies (with VW engines(!)), closeups of hot-rodded VW engines, Transporters, Campers, more VW Things than you've ever seen in one location, Karman Ghias (including a rare second-gen import), and even a 411 (or maybe it was a 412!), don't miss my Fotki site coverage of the 2012 Michigan VW Vintage Festival at Frog Park in Old Town, Ypsilanti. (Yes, this is the location about 1 1/2 blocks west of the world's oldest Hudson dealership and it is a terrific spot for an event like this).

Take a look, and (hopefully)....enjoy! Best regards...TIM

Thanks for sharing, Tim! You know I dig the V-dub stuff. I can't belieev that there is one 411/412 still running! What an awful car. I know. My dad had several of them and I drove one of them for a while. The K-G you spoke of is actually a Type III Ghia. It uses the unibody and engine from the Fastback, Squareback series. There are very cool and they never sold them here.

Tim are you aware that the orphan car show is held there also. Have not been in awhile but I do like that show.

I was wondering if that was the same location..I'd love to make the orphan show someday.

I really liked the blue sedan with staggered Fuchs in pic #38, and that blue Square with the ragtop looks familiar....did it have ghost flames, by any chance?

I liked the picture's he put up here for us to see . the orphan show has a new date from what I remember the fall now . Sept.23 2012.It is worth the trip.

Not a big fan of the Bug (slow, noisy, cold in the winter), but I have always had a soft spot for the Ghia. BTW, what model is in pics 85 & 86? Looks very '60's Italian.

Thanks for sharing the eye candy, Tim. Great inspiration.
