A fellow Sonarman student and his family had a Volkswagon bus that looked just like this one back in 1973. Well, except for all the stuff stuck to the side of it.
Note, this Pontiac hood as 66 on it. That is because Pontiac is right on Route 66. A show I never missed as a kid. Now, until I got here, some 50 years later I find Route 66 didn't go where I thought. I thought it was coast to coast and it's really only a couple hundred miles in Illinois. Amazing they could do a whole TV series on it.
This pump went obsolete because of a sale of more that $9.99 was anticipated.

This is June 16th 2012 and we are headed for Pontiac, IL. When ever I told anyone that is where we were going, they always had this surprised look on their face and asked "Why?" Well, it is a 99 mile ride from home each way. My fanny is a little sensitive to riding a long time. In fact, if we stop about every hour for 20 minutes or so, my hiney does a reset and I'm good for another hour.
This is our first stop about an hour out and, of course, happens to be a Dunkin Donut. And, yes there was a police cruiser parked there when we pulled up. Here Brenda is detaching her headset from her jacket.
