Hello, Volks!

Saw the strangest Westie while in Buffalo, NY today on business.  Someone
had taken a mid '70's Westie, removed the front half of the poptop, and
welded - yes, welded - a mid '60's Beetle to the top of the camper.
Imagine, if you will, drawing a line from the bottom of the headlights on,
say, a '69 Bug, around the circumference of the car, to the bottom of the
tail lights.  Now cut the car using that line as a guide.  Take the top
half, gut it, and weld it to the top of a Westie.  Then paint it all the
same color (Metallic Burgandy).
I really wanted to talk to the guy driving the vehicle, and while this
thing could hardly be lost in traffic, I gave up following it after five or
six miles.
If this is your Westie, and you were on Transit Road in Depew, I'd really
like to know more about that van.
