I was able to make in to this years VW's on the Hill in Cumberland, Rhode Island. It was again held at the Diamond Hill State Park as it was last year. It turned out to be an awesome day weather wise as the humidity that had been gripping the area recently broke after thunderstorms had gone threw the area the day before so it made for a pleasant day to see the beautiful Vw's that made it to the show this year.
I had hoped to bring my 74 Bug this year but I hadn't finished a project I was working on it yet and I had also discovered a gas leak that needs attention so I didn't feel safe making it over. Better luck for me next year.
Turn out seemed to be similar to last year although vendors at the swap meet area seemed a bit more sparse.
Here are some photo's I took:
 |
| Nice gold Super Beetle. |
 |
| This one's from New Hampshire. |
 |
| If I was to pick out a water-cooled VW's it would be one of these pickups. |
 |
| A rare(at least I haven't seen them much) optional factory AC on this 70's Bug. |
 |
| Clean interior on this Super Beetle. |
 |
| I liked the custom slim bumper on this mid 70's Bug. |
 |
| This had a Chevy 350 up front. |
 |
| This oval was in the vendor area. |
 |
| Modern day Beetle made it. |
 |
| Clean and neat interior. |
 |
| Herbie made an appearance. |
 |
| I'd love to add this to my Bug |
A special thanks to
Vintage Volkswagen Sales out of Cumberland, Rhode Island for organizing the show and hope they do it again next year. Not only do they sell Vintage VW's they also offer key making services both generic and factory replica style keys. I'm forever grateful for them bailing me out last year year when I lost my one and only key. So be sure and check them out. Looking forward to next year already. Enjoy the pictures.
