August 1967, in a small parking lot next to my parents' home in Agawam, Massachusetts. My then-girlfriend, Madeleine, is standing next to my 1950 VW, which I had restored the previous year. I think I was one of the earliest to take an interest in "vintage" VWs -- when the car was a mere 15 years old. But even then the earliest split window VWs were rare (only a few hundred were sold in the US in 1950). I paid $85 for it in late 1965. It would be worth a bit more today. View full size.
I love the layering of plans, the copice next to the house, the beautiful beetle, the electric lines (a mere whim of mine), the perfect colours, the lovely young woman and her sandals!
