Cruise Night Beauties

Having a night off I decided to hit a local cruise night in Cumberland, Rhode Island. This one is hosted by the Rhode Island Chevy Owner’s Association but all makes and models are welcome. Being a VW enthusiast I was on the lookout for them. I was not disappointed.

Fully Loaded VW

Herbie Fully Loaded

This “Herbie” influenced Super Beetle was the first I came across. I spotted this on a previous occasion at a different cruise night For those that don’t know this version of Herbie was influenced by the last movie “Herbie: Fully Loaded” starring Lindsay Lohan( before meltdown). On the outside it looks to be in very good condition. The interior is in what I would call a “lived in” condition. Not bad overall and gives me a good example of what to shoot for with our Super Beetle.

This baby blue Super Beetle convertible is another I’ve seen before. This one just seems to have “fun to drive” written all over it. It’s in very nice condition and I love the “stance” the wheels give it.

This 1967 Volkswagen Beetle is an incredible sight. It is in showroom condition and is very sharp. It was originally a California car and was brought to the area by current owner and restored to present condition. A lot of work and eye for detail certainly went into this ride.
