Emilee Prado
How Many Miles Are On It? I have over 104,000 miles on this car.
How Did You Acquire It? This Volkswagen used to belong to my father. I inherited it from him after he passed away.
What Are Its Most Distinguishing Features? This car is the great-great-grandfather to the paddle-shift systems you can find in some modern vehicles today. The engine and autostick transmission are also located in the trunk, as opposed to the hood like it usually is.
Has It Won Any Awards? It won first place at the Oil Drippers Car Show, Best In Show at the Euro Drives and third place at the Sharkapalooza Volkswagen Show.
What Makes This Car Special To You? I love seeing the smiles on kids’ faces as they look at the car up close. I also love the nostalgic conversations that come up from people who owned one of these cars in their youth.
