Summer of Vintage VW Bugs: Vintage Volkswagen Car Show

There is something nostalgic when stumbling upon a vintage groovy little VW beetle. Truthfully, is there a happier car other than the Volkswagen Beetle? Probably not & the hippies can back me up on this.

As a photographer, it's always a pleasure when you see a really interesting car & get to snap a photo of it. Typically, the second weekend in July, in Columbiana, Ohio, vintage punch-buggies, old-school hippie vans, as well as other retro Volkswagens from the 1960s & 70s roll into a small country town to hang out, chill, & vibe.

Favorite VW Bug

The Volkswagen car show is hosted by & at Jim's Custom V.W.'S. While you'll see some of the familiar bugs year after year, other new-to-the-scene hippie vans & groovy little beetles trug in. Personally, I think it's a little magical, but maybe it's just the flower power.

If you want to check out the Volkswagen car show & take photos, stop by before golden hour to get the best light. Some of the Beetles come as far as Florida & the owners, always ask first, & are usually happy to have others snap pictures of their cars.

Below, I am sharing some cool-man, psychedelic, & groovy personal VW car photos. However, if you wish to see more, check out my portfolio here. You'll definitely dig it.
