Hello from Atlanta----  With a copy of "Small Wonder" open to VWoA Retail
Sales History-----
I owned a '72 Bus of which 42,656 were sold;  I now own two '81 Vanagons of
which  10,882 were sold.
The point I wish to make is that Vanagons were never as popular as Bay
Window vans of the '70's. I see as many 70's vans as Vanagons here in
Intown Atlanta.  I  believe that with careful, regular maintenance I can
make both my '81 air cooled vans last for many years---with the help and
camaraderie of the list, of course!

Regards,

Christina and Michael Nichols
