After two ‘63 Ramblers, a 1965 Chevy Bel Air station wagon, a gas guzzling 1973 Ford LTD Country Squire Wagon, a Dodge truck, a Coronet station wagon, a white Rambler American, and even a Triumph TR-4 that sat in the driveway, my father finally brought home the car that would eventually serve as our family vehicle: a butterscotch colored 1973 Volkswagen Bus.
Great article! I can picture you all riding in that bus! We had a VW Beetlebug. Not a great car for a family of 6! When my parents divorced my mom took it and my Dad bought a Nova for $50 with no heat!!

Thanks! 6 kids in a VW Bug doesn't seem possible, yet I do recall being crammed into a few of those things with a bunch of kids and no room to spare.
Like it alot. Good Stories Jay
Thanks so much, and thanks for reading!
Nice memories about the VW bus. My dad had a Ford LTD. Great memories of drive-in movies.
Thanks and thanks for reading! Yes, those Ford LTD models were iconic - like a small luxury camper.
