Retro Vehicles: Is Volkswagen Next?
Matthew Keegan
Retro styled vehicles are all the rage today ...
Given VW’s long running popularity, other long since retired models
are certainly worthy of being copied, don’t you agree? The Karmann
Ghia, the Thing, and the Scirocco are a few that come to mind, however they

No lights front or back and it had shotgun holes all over... |
