My Grandma's Bug is now mine!

In 1966, my grandparents traded in their '56 Bug for a '66 Bug. My mom remembers holding her 6-wk old baby son (me) when grandma pulled up to our home in Sioux Falls, SD proud as she could be of her new Bug. Since then, my grandparents have passed away and the bug ended up with my parents. After 15 years in our barn, we pulled out the old bug, got her running again (after working on her for only a couple of hours), and then trailered her to her current location in my garage in Hickory, NC. She's in pretty good shape, but will be restored to her original glory over the coming years. My license plate reads, "TKS, GRAM".
