There's been some discussion of NONA lately -- a few former members have been waxing nostalgic about the old days.

The VW Type 3 was officially introduced to the US market in 1966, but quite a few of them were brought in before then from Europe and Canada by individuals like your dad. A VW 1500 would have been a real head turner in Spokane in 1962!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15374323459236158726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909677577932577074.post-11816567063450366452007-01-10T04:37:00.000-08:002007-01-10T04:37:00.000-08:00This will sound weird, but here I go.

We were in Canada for Christmas 1962, and my father, an AMC dealer, spotted the car at a Cardston, Alberta, gas-station-dealership. My Dad loved to poke the other local dealers in the eye as often as possible, so he bought the car, spent 6hrs. in customs, and had the first '65 VW 1500 in Spokane. Did it cause a stink! He ran an ad to come compare it to the Rambler American, while no local dealer even had one. Thanks for allowing an old man to relive some good memories.
