Our new addtion...

A new addition to the family arrived today in an enclosed trailer from Vermont. After waiting 6 weeks, we are now the proud owners of a 1951 Volkswagen convertible. Now many of you might be wondering why Will would get another VW when he already has 2, but this new Volkswagen will actually be taking the place of his 1956 convertible. Will is replacing his 1956 with this 1951 because, in the Volkswagen world, the 1951 is a much rarer find a very desirable to own. The previous owners of the car drove all the way from Burlington, Vermont to personally drop off the car. They even braved a crazy sand storm in New Mexico to get it here.

It doesn't look like much yet, but the car is actually in really great shape for being so old. Hopefully in 10 years this rusty car will be a beautiful show piece. The car will eventually be a two-tone color of dark brown and tan...very vintage!
Here is a picture of the proud father. Two thumbs up!
And, of course, I had to add a picture of Kate. She was excited to see the convertible too. :-)
