<VV> Re: Fender blending - no Corvair

[Charles Lee at Proper Pro Per]

The "bug" has always been "retro" for a variety of reason, but VW never acceded to style, which is obvious.
People like them BECAUSE they are ugly, so much so that they became "cute" (the Olde English definition, perhaps ?)

The "bug" - old and new versions - can be grouped in with the Prowler and PT Cruiser and Chevy's new PT Cruiser clone, and many more to come, I'm sure.  But they are, or will be, "retro" and not subject to the real evolution of car design, right ?

  Hmmm.... me thinks narry a soul has looked at the VW Beetles, both old and "new"... they have rear fenders... in fact, the front will fit the rear on a "new" Beetle...
  Not that it's pretty or anything...
  And the original Beetle WAS designed in the early 1930s...
  Oh well...
  Later,
  Lonzo... had 10 different VWs before getting into Corvairs in 1990... haven't had one since!
