What is this THING!? 1973 Volkswagen “THING” | Snohomish Car Show

[@concordiaranger2169]

I bought my 1974 Thing from Don Eddy back in 2010. Don passed away in 2019. Rest in peace Don.

[@bradcarroll3719]

You got a really nice one!

[@Porsche996driver]

RIP Don. He knew his VWs and a lot more. Didn’t know that about the Safari name.

[@bradcarroll3719]

Went to this when I lived in Olympia. You cant overstate how awesome this show is. I liked going to Snohomish on just a regular day!

A factory vinyl roof on a station wagon. Now that is rare!

[@Porsche996driver]

That ‘68 LTD Wagon with hidden headlights, the Ranchero also had that very cool look. Sweet.

[@quincee3376]

Awesome stuff Dennis.

[@resilientbug2584]

Never seen these views of my home town. I love living in Snohomish

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Really nice town!

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

I can't wait till this virus madness is over and we can get together and have fun with cars again! I'm sure there are people who are still doing it now, but I value the lives of others too much to take the chance

[@MyClassicCarTV]

If we all do the right things now, we'll get back to something closer to normal sooner.

[@JaneDoe42011]

I've lived here 22 years, and didn't know we had a car show. I'll have to check out the next one.

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

That 30 Merc Roaster PickUp!!

[@42itously]

I dig that the '68 LTD 428 Wagon had the air cleaner lid flipped for better airflow. I did the same on my '69 428 Torino Cobra.

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Adds 50 horsepower!

[@neilperry2224]

They were called the type 182 here in the UK, when they sold here in the 70's.

[@billknoderer8202]

My Dad shot one of those up with a Springfield 1903-A4 sniper rifle and a German Colonel in it in Italy in 1944. Kubblewagen

[@JonTostanoski]

My little old town on TV LOL!!!

[@MyClassicCarTV]

And a nice little town it is!

[@Rockin_Roll]

wow, second post in 4 years........looks like a nice show...........

[@oliviastratton7097]

Hell yeah, my hometown! And yeah, we have a lot of okd stuff. We're not called the Antique Capital of the Northwest for nothing!

[@Accolaidia777]

Missing living in Snohomish.....

[@michaelfreeman6651]

Triump Herald. Cool car.

[@morganboyer9996]

Hay I live in Snohomish

[@ItsNoGoodJrGaming]

When you look in the comments and see a bunch of old classmates and other random people you know

[@joelrepp]

Snohomish Reppresenting

[@styldsteel1]

I see they put the heater right next to the gas tank, but the "Thing" is 47 years old. Doesn't seem to be a problem. : )

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Still kinda scary tho.

[@styldsteel1]

@@MyClassicCarTV hell yeah. I'd never design a car like this.

[@cekalble]

2:21 Turquoise whale photobombed Blue Corvette with yellow AMC Gremlin.

[@kjellgunnartrimbo-forthun6052]

Why is this being reccomend to me? I live in Snohomish

[@kjellgunnartrimbo-forthun6052]

This is crazy, I didn't realize that a TV show was being shot here

[@pooddescrewch8718]

I love quirky cars but VW Things were death traps . Slow , with a wooden removable floor and not one crumple zone that would save you on impact . They were bad cars for highway driving for sure .

[@pooddescrewch8718]

I would never take a Thing on an Interstate !

[@xyanide1986]

No rear seats? Is that a hearse?

[@hotrodray6802]

Back seat is folded flat

[@adriantomlin2902]

I flat don't get some of these car owners?! The outside and inside of the car are almost immaculate. Yet when Dennis has them pop the hood it is a grimy, dirty nightmare under the hood!!!???

[@adriantomlin2902]

I know Dennis is into different and green vehicles. Sometimes with all the nice stuff in the background, I wished he would do some "normal" cars!

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

That 38 Olds is awesome. Car styling has gone downhill since the 70's. The 80's had some okay boxy styles, the 90's looked like they took the 80's vehicles and just rounded all the corners. And after that, all cars look like jellybeans. They have no style. The only way to tell cars apart is from the grilles. And they're all ugly. And don't even get me started on crossovers....
