VWs Galore!

This past weekend was the annual No Dough VW car show in Port Orange. We haven't been in a few years, so it was a perfect opportunity to head north and also see my brother Rick, sister-in-law Eva, and nephew Matthew. What a fun day we all had despite the 90 degree heat. The show must have had an all time record number of vehicles attending. There were so many that it went all the way around the Port Orange City Center Circle. There were Volkswagen Beetles, vans, Westfalias, transporters, busses, dune buggies, Karmann Ghias, VW Things, and many other contraptions and inventions.



A Buc-ee's Bug including a convertible replica on the roof...


Nice Food Vendor set-up...


Notice the David Bradley cowl on the minibike on the back of this trike...


What a cool 'scooter bike' next to this transporter...


A stretched VW Thing...


Vehicles were around the pond. This van had the best and biggest awning, which was perfect for the hot day.



This Thing had a convertible top and lots of added accessories.



How low can you go? We missed the car limbo contest though, which would have been really funny to watch.


Notice the exhaust...


It's all in the details and extras at this show. This van was ready for a Woodstock revival.



Cool taxi!



Creamsicle themed...



We had a couple of favorites in the show. This hippie/band themed van was one of them. Even the inside had 'passengers' and we thought the cat on the pillow was real at first. 




Our second choice was this 1947 Flexible Clipper bus decked out as a camper. It had period correct appliances in it too. Nice rehab job!



What a great day with family and it was all so different! Next year we will do it all over again!
