🚗️Käfer

1938 - 2003 | 1st generation | Typ 1

You might call this a formal portrait of my tkird Volkswagen, a 1973 model. It had a larger motor and some other improvements. It also had a steel sunroof, which needed too many repairs. The photo was taken at Jubilee College State Park, near Kickapoo, a few miles west of our home in Peoria, Illinois. I kept the llinois license plate, RW 4336, from my second year in Peoria until we moved to Annandale, Virginia. It has my initials and birth date. In Illinois, you could request any license plate with two letters and four numbers, if it was not already taken.
