Classic VW Beetle Burns Up...

This is pulled from our old Super 8 home movies.

We were on a family vacation to California in the mid-late '70s and had just left Universal Studios. We were driving in what we believe to be Hollywood when we witnessed a parked classic Volkswagon Beetle with it's engine on fire. By the time my Dad pulled over and got his camera out, the emergency vehicles were arriving but we don't recall having seen the owner around at all before we left.

It would be very interesting if someone might recognize something in this video, either the exact location or even better know the owner, who might like to see this. If you recall any family stories about someone who's Beetle was burned up as they were around the Los Angeles, Hollywood, Burbank area (not sure exactly where we were), please let me know and show them this video. That would be neat!

Thanks.
