Cars at the Capital 2019

Our fifth annual Cars at the Capital event was different than any other we had hosted before, featuring the 1966 Volkswagen Type 2 Deluxe Station Wagon "Microbus" owned by Esau & Janie B. Jenkins, which was our first excavation and preservation project, as well as the 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray "Astrovette" owned by Apollo XII Astronaut Alan Bean.
Keeping with tradition, we displayed the newest inductees to the National Historic Vehicle Register on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. for all of the public to see and learn of their contributions to America's Automotive History!
We want to thank our partners ‪@Hagerty‬, ‪@shell‬,
‪@volkswagen_usa‬, B.R. Howard & Associates, as well all who helped or took part in bringing these cars to their pubic display, including the owning families of both cars!

This clip about Esau & Janie B. Jenkins family story and the Volkswagen brought happy tears to my eyes.

love booth of the cars,but the Wolskwagen is the real touching story

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Both very interesting vehicles, and both very interesting stories!

This is a great advertisement because somebody may have a historical vehicle they might not want anymore but instead they could donate it to this association

Wow, I think the bus is German. If you want to be confused for life, just move to the District. What else can anyone say?

"Taking a path thats somewhat unpaved" if only this was true anymore. If I go against the grain online, I will be struck down and my account will be removed. If I do the same in reality, a mega-corporation will immediately strike me down for threatening their bottom line. The term "pioneering" should be found next to the definition of "obsolete."

It's an absolute joke to put this VW that has no historical significance next to the astronauts Corvette.

Did you even watch the video?

@@thythethy9590 Did you? The story is pathetic. It doesn't deserve to be there. It's scrap metal.
