As a young girl living in LA I loved to watch Gidget. I loved her beachy lifestyle. When I was sixteen, it was the era of the cabriolets, not shabby but I would have been happier with one of these beachy rides! Tough to choose just one right?
As much as I would love a convertible Kharmannghia, I was ready to move into a VW bus this past weekend. They are so much homey inside. 
I love the vintage beachyness to them. 
B and I were so thrilled to play house in a few VWs. These buses had many special little details that were so precious. We decided that when we get our beach bus we would get the safari windows to let the sea air in as we cruise up and down the coast.
And for young Norman, we might just get him one of these!
so fun!

ReplyDeleteooo! i want to road trip! so cute. (my first car was a vw, too... although not nearly as cute or classic as any of those... but i do agree - vws just scream beach culture!)
ReplyDeleteOh, I so love them, and would go on a tour in a heart beat.
ReplyDeleteThose interiors are adorable, looks like such a fun way to get away. I loved Gidget also! I used to try to dance like her... remember that? It wasn't pretty... xo
ReplyDeleteThese are just killer Miss SeaLaura, and they bring back such amazing memories. Gidget...sigh.
ReplyDeleteThe little miniature car is to fun, what a great 'ride'! Love your blog, we arrived here via Kate's. (Nautical by Nature.)
Enjoy the rest of your week!

Growing up- my Dad had a VW bus- it was so much fun. It would scare me to death now- as there was nothing up front- but still, very fond memories. I would love a white, vintage VW bug, convertible! Love your images. Thanks you for your very kind thoughts for our Jack- you are dear.
ReplyDeleteHow fun...I especially like the miniature bug for Norman!! I think he would love it!!
ReplyDeleteThe VWs are so cool.... i dreamed of a cabriolet when I was getting my license...
