A 1946 VW Standard Beetle in action on California I-101

Here we have Brian Holcomb driving a 1946 Standard Beetle (owned by Mark Merrill) at about 55 mph on I-101 in San Jose, CA heading back to the barn from the 2011 Kelley Park event. Brian's passenger is fellow Wisconsin-ite Mike Fischer. This matt black '46 features the original 25 hp motor ad full "crashbox" transmission! I videoed this clip from the driver seat of Mark's awesome 1967 "sales flap" Hi-Roof Split-windshield VW Bus. Mark, thanks again for letting us enjoy the pleasure of driving your bitcin' old cars to shows from your incredible collection! Bill Bowman

ohhh man!!!!!

priceless!

please drive safely.

98% of the of people passing by this guy and his gem have no freaking clue what it is that he is driving. most will look and see a slug-bug and not see it any differently than the next beetle that they pass which will be some Super.

Beautiful!
