Our VW Beetle

With the Stock Market down again today and loses continuing to build (even though they are coming out of previous gains) I went through the VW folder to divert my mind to Happier Days. This was certainly one of those after having the VW restored and towing it behind the Motor Home out in the mountains. We bought it new as a 1969 model in the late fall of 1968. It cost $1,897. and was most convenient for us to have in DC where traffic was heavy. When Jon and Mary got married we passed it on to them which they utilized for a number of years. After we bought the Motor Home in 1993 and Jon's had bought a newer car, we brought it home and had it completely renovated including an expensive paint job at Keller's here in Seward. I never added up what all of the renovation cost but we sold it for $3,500. It's the only vehicle we ever had that cost less when we bought it than what we sold it for.
