Here's the article online for those that don't get the paper: http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2008/jul/18/chattanooga-volkswagen-trying-reconnect-american-c/

Fielding Clark, a VW enthusiast and member of the Scenic City Volks Folks club, said he owns five vintage Volkswagens.

The oldest is a 1963 slide-back sunroof Beetle, or what he termed “a Love Bug replica.” The Ringgold, Ga., resident now is restoring a 1972 Super Beetle convertible for his daughter.

He said people who own old VWs have “bug fever.”

“It’s not a car; it’s a cult,” Mr. Clark said.

Mr. Clark said he hopes VW can grab a bigger stake in the U.S. market.

“They’re the biggest carmaker in Europe,” he said. “I can’t see why they can’t do it here.”


It would be nice if they had mentioned or linked to our website.
