Bob Baker customer appreciation day annual car show for 2012









 I noticed there are 2 clocks. On the far right and in the center of the dash
 That's the interior light.. this car was made before electric lights in the ceiling were standard equipment
 Great ashtray



 interesting trailer

 interesting paint scheme

 optional or aftermarket gas tank. Not very common, but very cool
 very cool clock and radio

 no idea why this is on a bug... but I don't see these very often








 Not very good gas mileage for a brand new car. Interesting take on the original looks of the beetle
for a couple galleries of last years show http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/cool-all-vw-spring-festival-at-bob.html 
http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/bugs-things-and-notchbacks-at-bob.html these aren't all the coverage, but if you want to see all of last years, you'll be the first to ask for that, no one else has. So until I get a request I'm not going to track them all down and tag them

For another gallery from another blogger, check out http://blog.greenlaker.com/2012/05/bob-baker-vw-show.html !

VW van poster in the Bob Baker dealership


 my photos splitting the poster worked out pretty well! Not bad for a car guy

humor found in Volkswagens, "Pidgin German" comedy labels someone invented years ago

Das Glimmerblinken for the light switch,
Der Drizzleflippen for wiper switch,
Die Warmercougher for choke,
Das Schmokegedunka for ashtray,
and Der Puttersparken for the ignition.

I love this kind of humor! I first saw it in April at the Coronado car show (last photo of the set http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/04/cool-stuff-i-found-at-coronado-car-show.html ) in this car http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/04/1951-mercedes-170da-in-afrika-corps.html

or in German...
Das Glimmerblinken" (für Lichtschalter),
"Das Drizzleflippen" (für den Scheibenwischer)
, "Die Warmercougher" (für Starthilfezugknopf),
"Das Schmokegedunka" (Ascher)
oder "Der Puttersparken" (für Zündung)
