Toot

Something for #WeirdCarMastodon folks!

Enjoy the colours of (what I believe is) the VW factory parking lot in the mid to late seventies.

So what would you save from those lot?

@DazzlingDamo All of them! At various times my parents drove a canary yellow Passat, a wine red Renault 4 and a gold metallic K70 in the 70s. Bring back color! 🌈

@DazzlingDamo I really do miss all that technicolor! I’m squinting and feel like I see a Type 3 squareback in the blurry distance. That’d be my pick.

What’s yours?

@Holberg My parents had a pale blue Squareback for a while and a very Yellow Faskback just prior!

My choice is a little route one, but I think a first-generation Scricco would be fabulous!

@DazzlingDamo I’d have gone to Scirocco next! And your parents might not realize they had one of the most fashionable cars a teenager could drive in Southern California beach towns in the ‘80s and ‘90s haha. A squareback in that light blue was PRIMO.

@Holberg, safe to say they did not realise the cool potential of their car choices!

@Holberg In fact, because my parents had them, I find the whole idea that these cars were cool slightly odd!

@DazzlingDamo I grew up in the 70s, to which I attribute my love of bright colours. I’d go lime green or bright orange, there’s plenty of choice in that pic.
