In 1966 I bought a 55 Volkswagen bug from the neighbor up the street for $300. Had the small back window, the one piece. He purchased it in Germany so it had the type of turn signals that were little pneumatic arms that popped out the side of the door frame and lit up. Pretty cool but not legal in the US. It also had a reserve tank, like a motorcycle and a gigantic radio that only got AM. I was 16, kept it less than a year. Had my first real make out session in the back seat. Not optimal. Sold it for $200 and bought a 56 Ford two door station wagon from a friend for $400. Something much better happened at the drive-in in that one …
