back in the early 70s i owned a very nice 56 oval window with semaphores that worked and a slide back cloth top. it had the original 36 horsepower engine. drove it to clinton oklahoma from concord nc in july of 1972....mostly on interstate 40. i can remember watching for 18 wheelers in my review mirror...as they passed i would dart out and draft...the vw would go as fast as the truck! i do remember going into knoxville following a tanker that finally was going so fast that i had to drop back. it felt as if the vw was unattached to the highway and darting side to side depending on the draft. speaking of the draft...pack racing at talladega this weekend!
