The Demise of a Volkswagen Beetle
The Beetle was a great cult car. But, most ended
their lives by a sort of 'self destruct' mechanisim,
where the engine would catch fire without the driver knowing
it, and would proceed to burn itself to the ground. A probable
cause was faulty fuel lines in the engine.
In Cooperstown, NY, these pictures were taken some 20 years
ago as a Beetle burned on the street.
