Cars, the Old Stuff

These two pictures show an original, unrestored 1963 Volkswagen. Naturally there is a story behind it.

It was bought new in 1963, by an elderly lady who didn't drive very much. She took good care of it, kept it in her garage, and drove it a total of 28,000 miles. Then in 1967, she died. There was some kind of holdup in settling her estate, so there it sat until 2005. It has had an excellent cleanup and four new tires, but otherwise it is pretty much as it was found. The license plate is a 1967, the speedo shows 28,000, the interior is spotless and even the original tool kit is still there in the trunk.

Unfortunately, it doesn't belong to me. Do you ever wonder why we can't all stumble on something like this from time to time?
