I was lucky to get 25 mpg from a 69 beetle. I get better mileage from a v6 3.6L Cadillac. It had a 3 speed auto/stick shift. A torque converter and clutch. Clutch was pneumatic operated. I had head work done, new roka valves. On way back from Florida on I65 the valve broke off and I was stranded. Can't run them wide open for a long time.
Defroster is an ice scraper and a towel. Heater only worked in summer. The heater tube would rust out behind the front wheel. Then rain water would come out heater vent. Oil change was recommended 1500 miles and adjust valves too. Great car for snow. Never got stuck. Sold the VW and never wanted another one. Terre Haute doesn't have a VW dealer. After getting stranded I concluded Hitler exported the VW to the US to get even for losing WW2. Sometime in the 70's there was a tariff on all imported cars.
As a result, we now have some factories in US making cars. Large Toyota plant north of Evansville. I no longer want an air cooled car, just mowers, generators.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
