Volkswagen Went Cruisin' for a Cure

 

The story of Volkswagen is pretty well known. Established in 1937 to manufacture an affordable automobile that Adolph Hitler wanted for the German people, the "People's Car" was partly credited to Austrian engineer Ferdinand Porsche, whose son would go on to start another rather famed German car company. The first VW automobile, the Type 1, more commonly known as the Beetle, became the best-selling car in the world. It has since been surpassed but there are still a lot of Beetles being driven around. More than a few showed up for the 9th Annual Cruisin' to a Cure for ALS show in Lawrenceburg. The Type 2, a version of a van, would come along as well. Others would follow but those were the main ones on hand for the show.
