I've working on getting my Blues Bug tweaked for the Summer and needed a few engine parts.
Well there's this 'little' place I go to in Dade City, Florida when I need just a couple of things...

Blue I have never seen your Bug before - it kicks a$$! Love the car, plate and frame.
One scary soul band as mean and righteous as a fist.

Again Blue, I must say that it is definitly the same model I used to have as may very first car ever.
Even the color is the same and the bumper style too...
BIIIIGGG memories to me.
Thanks for keeping the old girl in such a nice shape.
I bet you'll find a lot of parts at the place you're going to. How far is it away from you?
It's too funny that you care for an old Volkswagen Beetle in Florida USA and I do so for a 73 Cadillac in Germany. (Especially when I think that I'm now living about 20 miles away from the place where your car was built when I was 10 or 11.)
So what? They're both automotive history and worth to be kept and handed over to the next generation.

Even the hubcaps are the same style mine used to have
Was a great car and I wonder where it might be today, because I'd like to go and get back some of the memories I forgot in it...
BTW
Your Beetle is in a PERFECT shape, Blue...
