WV Was On Hand In Lawrenceburg

 

In the 1930s, Germany, like much of the world, had an economy spiraling in depression. At the time, cars were a huge luxury which very few could afford. The solution was to create an affordable car for the people. The call was for a basic automobile that could carry two adults and two to three children. The result was a small car that could do just that, powered by an air cooled, flat four-cylinder engine mounted in the rear of the car. It was called the People's Car or Volkswagen. The Type 1, better known as the Beetle, became one of the biggest selling cars in the world. There were more than a few VWs on hand for the 9th Cruisin' to a Cure for ALS show in Lawrenceburg. Here they are.
