Volkswagen Beetles

[youpiao]

In memory of my first car (a 1968, bought in 1972 for $500), I have a modest topical collection of Volkswagen Beetles on stamps.

My first car was a 1969 (? Not sure) VW semi-automatic - gearshift but no clutch. Baby blue. The engine went Kaput six months later so I bought a manual transmission convertible bug. Drove that most of my senior year in high school- wonderful party car for the early 1970s. Ahhhh good times! Thanks for bringing back good memories.

My first car was a 1959 Austin A40 in black, loved that car and would love to find a stamp with an Austin A40 on it but don't think anyone has produced one

I used to work on some of the Austins and the engine compartment was a challenge.

I did a text search of my 2008 digital Scott set, and found quite a few Austins, but not your model.

Hehehehehe... My granddad had the same car... my stepdad totaled it back in '73. Was a really nice motor but then what does a 6-year old know about motors He did pick up a 68 VW camper van right after he got out of the hospital. We had that until I left the UK back in '85. Gave it to a mate of mine from the Gloucesters.
