1969 Volkswagen Deer Isle, Maine

From Jonathan Welsh: "This sunworn bug caught our attention in Deer Isle Village in part because it was parked with the engine running (and a sweet passenger). The distinctive sounds and smells of its air-cooled flat four gave Alexa and me flashbacks. We figure our families owned at least four Beetles and a Karmann Ghia from the '50s through the '70s. My mother drove a red '73 and said learning to shift a Beetle meant you could drive anything."
AL caught another VW on Deer Isle. Maybe our favorite car down on the island was this 1961 Chrysler New Yorker, aka the batmobile.
