Posted on May 13, 2013 | 28 CommentsI have developed a reputation as the Broughamy go-to author here on CC (along with Richard Bennett, natch), but the plain truth is I can find just about anything on […] -
Storage Yard Classic: Volkswagen based Oddity
Posted on April 29, 2013 | 17 CommentsLet me know if you have heard this one … a geodesic dome, a Volkswagen and an armadillo walk into a bar … this custom creation could be the punchline. […] -
CC Outtake: A Very Jetta Christmas
Posted on December 21, 2012 | 8 CommentsChristmas is fast approaching–where did the time go? That recently reminded me of two MK III Jettas I spotted during a long walk back in September; a matched set, in […] -
Curbside Question: What Was The Last Pink Car You’ve Seen?
Posted on December 11, 2012 | 71 CommentsI ran across this most decidedly NON-factory painted VW New Beetle behind a local dealership today. Pink cars are pretty far and few between these days, so my interest was […] -

CC Outtake: Red Rabbit
Posted on September 6, 2012 | 14 CommentsHere we go again: Another find from the Iowa City Farmers’ market. Like the Spitfire, it’s a drop-top–but other than that, they’re as different as chalk and cheese. In the […] -

Posted on July 26, 2012 | 5 CommentsHere’s a teaser that somewhat goes with Paul’s chop-top Astro van. I’m currently at the world’s busiest airport for the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) Airventure air show. These modified […] -

Posted on June 18, 2012 | 31 CommentsThe VW Vanagon was one of the last vestiges of the old VW, the VW that emerged from the ashes of World War II and, against all odds, became a […] -
COAL: 1978 VW Rabbit Diesel – Bunny Tales
Posted on May 27, 2012 | 19 CommentsOne of the good things about being associated with the car business is that you will never be without wheels for any length of time; there is always something kicking […] -
CC Outtake: We Don’t Need A Giant Modern Pickup!
Posted on April 30, 2012 | 25 CommentsMy uncle once again delivers the goods. He spotted this late ’60s or early ’70s Transporter pickup earlier this week. Apparently it is a fleet vehicle for a storage company […] -
Cars Of A Lifetime: 1987 VW Quantum Wagon – An Audi of Solace
Posted on November 20, 2011 | 21 CommentsIf you have been following these ramblings of mine you might have noticed that I have (or did have) a bit of an affinity for Volkswagens and Audis. You might […] -
Cars Of A Lifetime: 1979 Volkswagen ASI Riviera camper bus (one more time around)
Posted on September 18, 2011 | 26 CommentsReaders may remember my other VW bus and associated hippie aspirations. By the time the mid ’90s were underway, the hippie in me was long-dead (never really worked for me, […] -
