Pink's Volkswagens

Welcome to Pink's VW site. 

I love all VW's but Beetles hold a special place in my heart. My dream car was a 1979 convertible beetle...triple white. Several years ago I acquired a '79 'vert...silver with black interior (Sophie)...not a triple white, but I still love her! On 04/23/2001 I purchased my dream car, a 1979 triple white (Sweet Angel), pictured above! I still have and love Sophie, but she needs a new home. If you are interested, drop me a line.

Several years ago when they started talking about the New Beetle, I got all excited.  When I knew for sure they were being produced, I got on a waiting list at my local VW dealership. I now also have a 1998 New Beetle (Annabelle Raven)...black with tan interior. (of course I ordered a yellow one like everyone else in the United States!) I've had her since June of 1998, and it's been a great car, and it's still fun to drive!
