MVVC’s 21st Annual Vintage Volkswagen Festival

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008


The air was hot and sticky at the all aired cooled Vintage Volkswagen Festival hosted by the Michigan Vintage Volkswagen Club. Many participants came out to show their rides and browse the numerous swap vendors. A line of bugs came out and one by one and the MC asked the audience what year is it? A discusiion of further suttle details rounded out each car in line. I am not super informed on VW’s and learned a lot while the cars were paraded. It was cool to see all the micro bus campers lined up, Carmen Ghia’s and Porsche 914 at the show. One beetle was all decked out with U of M gear. The beer bus was neat, to bad they were not selling some cold ones.

June 7-8 car show news

Thursday, June 5th, 2008



Last weekend was the Orphan Car Show at Riverside Park. I was so busy I was unable to get free and go check it out, but this upcoming weekend is once again packed with goodies. Back at Riverside Park the Michigan Vintage Volkswagen Club is putting on a show and in Ionia, Mi the 2nd Annual Classic car show takes place. Corvettes on Main in Rochester Hills and the Carnival of Cars at the Packard proving grounds rounds out the weekend. With Graduations and a busy weekend already planned, I am not sure if I can make it out to a show. If you attend a show and would like to post your own pictures and or review feel free to contact me and we can make it happen.
