Hi Julianna and others,

        It is very surprising to me how often we see vanagon’s or bay windows.  I’m in southern Vermont and though it is a bit rare we still pass them on the road every now and then in Vermont.  Many have Mass and maine plates as well as VT and NY.  Fingers crossed people keep on servicing and caring for them.  And, keep them out of our winter salt.

Still, I’d love to visit your area and see many more of them!

Eric

We call it the Grand Tour!  There are Vanagon’s all over!  They are all eye candy!  Sometimes I see super fun ones!  I saw a Tri Star a couple weeks ago and snapped a picture!  So fun!!!   We are driving our 84 two tone blue and cream tintop to deliver.  ♥️
