I have owned three VW's before.The first one I bought was at Steakley
Chevrolet used car department in 1965 in Killeen,Texas when I was in the
Army.Fort Hood is right next door to Killeen.It was a 1961 VW van and
had been a Chicken On Call van that someone previously owned and used it
to drive around at Fort Hood,selling sandwiches and soft drinks and
candy.One time when I came home on a three day holiday pass from Fort
Hood,I saw an ad in the local Clarion Ledger newspaper about a 1963 VW
car for sale for $1,100 and I bought that car and I drove it back to
Fort Hood,I later on sold my 1961 VW van and later on traded my 1963 VW
car in on a very nice 1967 Ford Car at Blackwell Chevrolet here in
Jackson.In 1978,I saw a 1970 VW van for sale,it was red with a white
roof and I traded my 1967 Ford car in on the 1970 VW van,I should have
hung on to my 1967 Ford car.Those old VW's didn't have enough power to
get out of their own way and you freeze to death in the winter time.I
swore off of VW vehicles forever.
