A stock bug of that vintage in Michigan is a testament of automotive fortitude when driven in the winter. A convertible is downright pushing the envelope.

Jim, the tragic part was taking it to the junkyard after it was deemed totaled. A huge fork truck came up, hit the wheels with the forks and popped the wheels off, then smashed through the windows, lifted it up and set it on the top of a pile of other cars. It was like a knife going through my heart. Still have the ignition key.
