The VW showed up in other totally unrelated scenes to the chase. I kinda figured someone on the crew had the bug so they used it several times.
Had a 66 Charger and a 69 Charger. The 69 had the 440 and never saw a filling station it didn’t like and it preferred to drink Ethyl.(premium today) Just loved that body style and it is still nice today. Talk about Ethyl today and the kids look at you like you belong in a funny farm.
When I was in H.S., a friend of mine got a BRAND NEW 1969 Dodge Charger from his Parents when he turned 16.
They wanted him to have a nice dependable Car. LOL
I had a 55 Chevy 210 Wagon, two door. Paid $100 for it and it needed a new front end. Found a complete front end off a Drag Car and paid $25 for it, Hood, Fenders and Grill.
Had to save my pennies so I could repaint the Car. Banana Yellow with a Red Front end attracted Cops like Flies.
I remember Ethyl. She was very expensive, like most Women.
My Dad owned an Esso Station back in New York and then he bought a Flying A Station in CA. Had a fun childhood.
