Of special interest to Trnsporter enthusiasts, from the VW Classic webpage:

   Deluxe Micro Busses, our goal is one from every year, 1952-1967

   Barn Doors, we want to set a record.  We had 15 at the Classic last
   year, the rumored record is 17, we hope to have 20.  Barn Door
   enthusiast, Ed Hughes, will be helping Charlie set this up.

   The last display will be for specialty Transporters.  Charlie will show
   the Cinema Bus, Jerry Jess is bringing his Hearse and there will be
   Fire Trucks, Ambulances, Highroofs, Wide Beds, ladder trucks, and
   Bestelwagens.  It will be Awesome!

Jim Davis
