...........Most fantastic VW............. I had a l965 VW bus and still love it.. Best machine ever made.. Plenty of fun times in California, Nevada,Colorado.. ..."Chance"

Makes me lonesome for my 1964 bug. I Kept it in tip-top shape and when I sold it to someone who wanted it badly it had over 800,000 miles on it. What a great automobile. Jim

What a beautiful piece of art, just WOW. I've been beading most of my life. Some pieces are 2ft x 2ft. BUT now i know what to do with all those left over beads...84 dodge van...seriously I've learned NOTHING IS SAFE from us beaders . Again the VW is one of the most beautiful pieces of art that I have seen. Thank you so much. Happy

Fabulous! Though, they may have selected the beetle because humans have been bejewling them for centuries.

If color can enhance a car like VW, can lots of colors? How innovative, and we thought everything worth creating was already done! How foolish of humanity not to appreciate the creativity of human beings and their desire to stand out with incentive. Fantastic! New Markets?

This is just so great. wish i had it..what a fun thing it would be to drive....love it....IT REALLY TOOK A LOT OF TALENT TO MAKE SUCH A THING OF BEAUTY....
