VW Show in Boulder City 4-1-17

[JTR70]

A buddy told me there was a VW show going on over the hill in Boulder City so I checked it out on the off chance there might be a 356 or other Porsche out there. A suprising turnout of Local Vw's but not a Porsche to be found not even a replica Speedster. It still wasn't a total bust as it was a beautiful afternoon in the park with some really interesting and clean cars. Take a look.















































I took bunch so I'll post up the next round here shortly.

Lots of guys from Hawaii by the background conversations I was overhearing.

Part 3

Later watercooled Versions found on the other side of the park.







Very original example. repainted once in the early 70's in its factory color.

Interior mostly original

Numbers matching motor. Owner retro fitted B/C reflectors he bought from Stoddard to help increased safety.









Never seen a Kubelwagen in person before and this one seemed extremely authentic.







If this is only a prop its one hell of a fake. Looks real to me...

That Kubelwagen radio hole looks very similar to PreA.

I see it too Phil; lots of similar DNA in those early years.

Like everyone else seeing this, I keep thinking, "Gee, I used to have one of those."
Fun show. Didn't know such a great park facility existed in Boulder City...

Its a really neat time capsule of a town with this old park as the center piece. The annual "art in the park" is the big draw but a car show or two does happen regularly.

COOL PICTURES I've been a VW fan since the early 60s. every time i see pictures like this I start shopping. I've got to get the 356 on the road then maybe.

Thanks for posting the pics. Looks like a great day and show. It's nice to see such a variety of cars that are at VW shows.
