I've posted about In and Out coming to events before http://choosingscars.blogspot.com/2010/10/in-and-out-burger-mobile-restaurant-was.html
But didn't find out that they charge 7.50 a burger with these mobile jobbers... I want you to know that a doubel cheeseburger and a coke are less than 5 bucks at the restaurant. It's a damn good deal.
Didn't know what this was, but Steve came through again! It's a Mexican-built Volkswagen "Hormiga" (means ant). They are known in Germany as the EA489 Basistransporter. Between 1976 and 1977, 3,600 of them were built in Puebla, Mexico. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_EA489_Basistransporter has more info, and in the Philipines it is called a Trakbayan
Nice clever way of mounting the portable Coleman stove
Lots of vintage coolers in the swap meet area
Above is a very early bug deflector, below is a tag I've never seen before... don't know what it's about. Maybe a customizer? Or a dealership?
Lots of matched luggage sets
Interesting and cool top
When the new Beetle was first sold about 6 years ago, it was instantly the best way to advertise your company... because everyone looked at it. I never see those advertising Beetles anymore
Above is the electric motor that the many batteries up front were connected to
